Impact: fix vmlinux from 2.6.30
from 2.6.30 (?) the new vmlinux with per_cpu and brk support will have more sections.
Ouch. Do we have to modify the LAR utility as well? AFAICS yes.
Are there any patches against 2.6.29(-rc?) to test this?
Is it sure that vmlinux will have more sections or is that just an experimental patch which will maybe be merged?
