I doubt that Maciej's changes have anything to do with this problem.
If you link setup.elf with "-Map somefile" does the map show any input
sections being linked between the script lines setting these symbols?
Something like the following should be there:

.videocards     0x0000000000003bc4       0x54
                0x0000000000003bc4                video_cards = .
 *(.videocards)
 .videocards    0x0000000000003bc4       0x1c arch/x86/boot/video-vga.o
 .videocards    0x0000000000003be0       0x1c arch/x86/boot/video-vesa.o
 .videocards    0x0000000000003bfc       0x1c arch/x86/boot/video-bios.o
                0x0000000000003c18                video_cards_end = .
                0x0000000000003c20                . = ALIGN (0x10)
