Hi Witold,

Thanks for the warnings.

These are intermediate variables test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 and
nmi_unk_cb_na.10399. I do not know how to fix them.

Basically the test registers two nmi_handlers, run some tests, and
then unregisters them. Those handlers are what the compiler seems to be
complaining about. I do not know what magic to pass the compiler to let
it know that both of the handlers will be unregistered before the init
section is destroyed.

Perhaps I should tag those callbacks with __ref? I am not sure the right
thing to do here.

Cheers,
Don
