    markers: fix duplicate modpost entry · d35cb360
    Mathieu Desnoyers authored
    When a kernel was rebuilt, the previous Module.markers was not cleared.
    It caused markers with different format strings to appear as duplicates
    when a markers was changed.  This problem is present since
    scripts/mod/modpost.c started to generate Module.markers, commit
    b2e3e658
    
    
    
    It therefore applies to 2.6.25, 2.6.26 and linux-next.
    
    I merely merged the patches from Roland, Wenji and Takashi here.

    Wenji Huang <wenji.huang@oracle.com>
    and
    Takashi Nishiie <t-nishiie@np.css.fujitsu.com>
    
    for providing the individual fixes.
    
    - Changelog :
      - Integrated Takashi's Makefile modification to clear Module.markers upon
        make clean.
