resources and data -> res'n'data -> resndata.

for x86_64_defconfig + MODULES=n there are two section mismatches:
dock_add
regulatory_init

regulatory_init is only called from

static int __init cfg80211_init(void)

. (I just sent a patch[1] that moves regulatory_init to .init.text.)

dock_add (in drivers/acpi/dock.c) is a bit harder. I will take a look
later if it can go to .init.text (together with a few more functions),
too.

It does not, will fix in a v2.
