Bug 16530

Output of make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y

Hello all,

I saw this while compiling 2.6.35:

...
  AR      arch/x86/lib/lib.a
  LD      vmlinux.o
  MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2b769c): Section mismatch in reference from the function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() to the function .devinit.text:pci_scan_bus_on_node()
The function pcibios_scan_specific_bus() references
the function __devinit pci_scan_bus_on_node().
This is often because pcibios_scan_specific_bus lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of pci_scan_bus_on_node is wrong.

Had no idea whether to report this, hence I did :) Please resolve if unnecessary.

Kind regards
