BTW, if you want to change a definition of an existing symbol,
you can use macro trick like the folowing (this is from
./2.6.9_U2/include/net/sock.h):

static inline
void sock_init_data_new(struct socket *sock, struct sock *sk)
{
	        sock_init_data(sock, sk);
		        sk->sk_owner = THIS_MODULE;
}

#define sock_init_data sock_init_data_new
