File sysklogd-1.4.1-sysmap-prior-to-2.5.patch of Package syslogd

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com>
Subject: klogd: Silence System.map and symbol lookup warnings with modern kernels
References: bnc#505421

klogd complains about not being able to parse the version of System.map and
 about not being able to load the kernel module symbol table.

Since kernels starting with 2.5 accurately report their own symbol table in
 Oopses, this is no longer necessary. The warnings are a harmless annoyance,
 but an annoyance nonetheless.

This patch detects if the running kernel is newer newer than 2.5.0 and
 disables the symbol lookup on startup, thus avoiding the warnings.
