..answering myself here.. as I found that this problem occurs using a bunch of different trees (bk, ben, stock, etc..)
I have fixed this issue (albeit in possibly a completely incorrect and bad way)I'm certainly no programmer, and definately not a kernel hacker.
I was wondering if this is the correct way to handle this:

use Alan's tree, or the bk tree.

For now it's actually preferable to throw it in ppc_ksyms.c. I'll do so
shortly. Thanks for looking into this.
