My insmod man page says:
-P prefix
This option can be used with versioned modules for a SMP kernel,
since such modules have an extra prefix added in their symbol
names. Normally insmod detects this special case automatically,
so this option is available for very special circumstances.
Perhaps something is wrong with your system such that insmod isn't
detecting that case automatically? I don't fully understand Linux's
module loading, so I'm not sure what could be wrong.
