it's caused by the PaX related changes to the module loader, the
kernel emits more info than vanilla and lsmod gets confused by it
(you can always look at /proc/modules directly though). although
it's useful info (for me at least), i reverted it in my latest
patch, so i guess it'll go into grsec soon.
