Bug Description

[Impact]
The kernel enablement roadmap will include backported kernels from quantal and beyond in 12.04; the fglrx modules will be unable to build against these kernels without this bugfix.

[Test case]
ALBERTO: please provide step-by-step instructions here for testing that the fglrx module will build against linux 3.5.0, given that there is no linux 3.5.0 package in quantal

[Regression potential]
Minimal: all new code is guarded with kernel version checks.

Since the move to kernel 3.5.0, fglrx fails to build on i386. It does build correctly on amd64.

This is detected by the ubuntu-drivers-common autopkgtest:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/AutoPkg%20Test/job/quantal-adt-ubuntu-drivers-common/

amd64 succeeds:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/AutoPkg%20Test/job/quantal-adt-ubuntu-drivers-common/ARCH=amd64,label=albali/3/

i386 fails:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Quantal/view/AutoPkg%20Test/job/quantal-adt-ubuntu-drivers-common/ARCH=i386,label=albali/3/

I can confirm that both build fine on a 3.5 kernel (backport PPA) on an i386 machine. This machine doesn't have ati hardware so I could only test the build and checked that the .ko existed. Loading it manually gives an error in dmesg as expected.

Based on that and the other test results for the other bug in this upload, I'm marking it verification-done.

(testing was done on both packages)
