Hi Jaroslav

The usage of __GENKSYMS__ in sound/core/wrappers.c looks wrong.

>>From the file:
#include <linux/version.h>
#include <linux/config.h>
#ifdef ALSA_BUILD
#if defined(CONFIG_MODVERSIONS) && !defined(__GENKSYMS__) && !defined(__DEPEND__)
#define MODVERSIONS
#include <linux/modversions.h>
#include "sndversions.h"
#endif
#endif

So __GENKSYMS__ etc is used to protect against inclusion of modversions.h
and sndversion.h.
The latter is not present in my tree (2.5.44).
__DEPEND__ is no longer used.

I do not see the purpose of this - please explain.

	Sam
