src/share/mk: bsd.kmodule.mk
Log Message:
Generate long calls in modules for arm32 and powerpc to avoid unsupported
relocations by the module loader in the kernel. This makes modules work
in, at least, shark and macppc respectively.
This is obviously a workaround that results in slower code, but at least
makes modules work. I'm adding a comment detailing what the real solution
would be so that the whole thing can be revisited in the future. (Read:
I don't have time now to dig the details of how to implement trampoline
generation.)
(Based on the old bsd.kmod.mk file, I understand that hppa needs this
workaround too, but I can't check this platform.)
