Ah yes, that's the other problem...  netconsole relies on link order to
be linked in after all other network drivers.  But since the cpm2 ones
are currently broken and live in arch/ppc, the link order is busted.

You can change netconsole from module_init to late_initcall(), but I
don't think you can convince upstream that this is the correct fix.
