Hi,

the warning message was:
WARNING: drivers/pci/built-in.o(__ksymtab+0x190): Section mismatch in
reference from the variable __ksymtab_pci_register_set_vga_state to the
function .init.text:pci_register_set_vga_state()
The symbol pci_register_set_vga_state is exported and annotated __init
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of pci_register_set_vga_state
or drop the export.

$fgrep "pci_register_set_vga_state" `find .`

$./arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c:
pci_register_set_vga_state(uv_set_vga_state);
$./include/linux/pci.h:extern void
pci_register_set_vga_state(arch_set_vga_state_t func);
$./drivers/pci/pci.c:void
pci_register_set_vga_state(arch_set_vga_state_t func)
$./drivers/pci/pci.c:EXPORT_SYMBOL(pci_register_set_vga_state);

this is a volatile function that set's a spec. state and is only used
from uv_system_init(arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c), the macro can
also be removed.
