[Click] click kernel module compile for Debian Lenny

[Eddie Kohler]

Do latest version of c++ actually parse 'asm ("foo"::"bar")' correctly?  The 
reason we patch code like that is that when included, c++ complains, thinking 
that "::" is the scope operator rather than two colons.  I agree that those 
patches are super problematic from kernel version to kernel version.
