I don't have an Ubuntu box lying around, but I just checked this out on 
Fedora, and I can confirm it makes and loads cleanly.

Interestingly, all 3 of the symbols you reported a problem with are 
defined in the module source. 2 of them are static, though, so shouldn't 
cause a problem. However, alloc_orinocodev is also defined in and 
exported by the kernel. This is a recipe for disaster.

That said, I'd still be looking for obtuse ways you might be suffering 
from a mis-build. Check the output of the following 2 svn commands 
against mine:

?      modules.order
?      Module.markers
?      Module.symvers

If nothing stands out, you said you already did a make clean so my next 
step would be to delete the whole checkout, its directory and everything 
in it, then check it out again. That way there's no possibility of a 
leak from an old build. After that, you might have to consider 
slaughtering chickens by the light of a full moon.
