The plan is to let section mismatch warnings become errors after the merge window - so we hit -mm first. And I will add a config option to: - set -fno-unit-at-a-time - add no-inline to all functions marked __init* - and maybe disable __inline if that gives additional errors
Slowly getting there. Need to beat modpost in shape to get much less configuration dependent warnings/errors first.
