Subject[PATCH][2.6-mm] 4/4 linker error (overlapping sections)
I got this on a NUMAQ 32way/32G kernel build with an external patch, i 
had to bump the PAGE_SIZE multiple (which is currently 2) to fix it, but
how does this patch look instead?

ld: section __ex_table [022cd000 -> 022cd207] overlaps section .entry.text [022cb000 -> 022cdfdf]
ld: section .rodata [022cd220 -> 02314f61] overlaps section .entry.text [022cb000 -> 022cdfdf]

The resultant image is the same (checked with objdump -t before and
after) and compiles with my patch too.

02562000 g *ABS* 00000000 __entry_tramp_start
0256373c g *ABS* 00000000 __entry_tramp_end
02564000 g *ABS* 00000000 _etext
02564000 l d __ex_table 00000000
02564178 g *ABS* 00000000 __stop___ex_table
02564000 g *ABS* 00000000 __start___ex_table
