From: Waseem Daher <wdaher@mit.edu>
This patch makes it possible to link and boot an x86 kernel with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections enabled.
Modpost currently warns whenever it sees a section with a name matching [.][0-9]+$ because they are often caused by section flag mismatch errors. When compiling with -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections, gcc places various classes of local symbols in sections with names such as .rodata.__func__.12345, causing these warnings to be printed spuriously. The simplest fix is to disable the warning when CONFIG_FUNCTION_DATA_SECTIONS is enabled.
