it means there is code that is not marked as init making references
function/data that is marked as init ... this is normally not noticed at boot
as the init sections arent cleared/clobbered until well after boot and
usually these are problems just for initialization routines ...

i'd review the symbols that are being warned about here to see if they're
missing the proper section markers (aka functions that should be labeled as
__init but arent)
