[PATCH 25/33] powerpc: module: handle MODVERSION for .TOC.

From: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au>

For the ELFv2 ABI, powerpc introduces a magic symbol ".TOC.".  If we
don't create a CRC for it (minus the leading ".", since we strip that)
we get a modpost warning about missing CRC and the CRC array seems to
be displaced by 1 so other CRCs mismatch too.

  * Export a fake .TOC. since both modpost and depmod will complain otherwise.
  * Both modpost and depmod strip the leading . so we do the same here.
