Actually I think that Sam's recent improvements to the section mismatch detection should make it easy to get at least all of the driver issues fixed -- the problem in the past was that many warnings would only show with certain configs or certain compilers (inlining functions only called once would hide many warnings).
Now I just need to enable CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH and I'm pretty certain to see everything (and indeed this found a few warnings in drivers/infiniband hidden by inlining, which I've queued up a fix for).
So the __cpuinit stuff may be trickier and half false positives etc, but I'm confident drivers/ will be cleaned up quickly now thanks to Sam.
