SubjectARM: Section mismatch warnings
Hi Russell.

I've been building all defconfigs for ARM on latest -linus tree
and got the following results with respect to section mismatch warnings.

Unpatched: 105 section mismatch warnings

Applied a path to ignore section mismatch warnings from variables named *_timer.
Result: 39 section mismatch warnings.
I will carry this patch in kbuild.git since it touches only modpost.c

39 looked like a managebale set of warnings so I took a closer look.
With patches that I will post as follow-up for this mail:
Result: 19 section mismatch warnings (where some are duplicates from more than one defconfig).


The remaining warnings are the following:

# This symbol is exported and marked __init.
# Eiteher drop the export or drop the __init marking.
o-arm-mx1ads/log.out:WARNING: arch/arm/mach-imx/built-in.o(__ksymtab+0x80): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_imx_fb_info (after '__ksymtab_set_imx_fb_info')

# These are all almost trivial if one knows the device-model. I did not know enough about the devicemodel to fix them.
# I suspect several symbols should NOT be marked __init since they are used in .add assignments and the like
# or mayby __Devinit since they are used only in HOTPLUG scenarios.

# Assembler stuff. It looked to me like __INIT was used wrongly but then I did not feel confident enough to patch it up - and I cannot test it.
