Subject: section mismatch warnings in current git head for powerpc

I got the following warnings when building current git head for powerpc 
64bit:

   LD      net/ipv4/built-in.o
   LD      drivers/scsi/built-in.o
   LD      net/built-in.o
   LD      drivers/built-in.o
   LD      vmlinux.o
   MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x73bc): Section mismatch in reference from the 
function .start_secondary_prolog() to the function 
.devinit.text:.start_secondary()
The function .start_secondary_prolog() references
the function __devinit .start_secondary().
This is often because .start_secondary_prolog lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of .start_secondary is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x260a8): Section mismatch in reference from 
the function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() to the function 
.devinit.text:.update_dn_pci_info()
The function .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier() references
the function __devinit .update_dn_pci_info().
This is often because .pci_dn_reconfig_notifier lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of .update_dn_pci_info is wrong.

Is this anything to worry about?

Thanks,
Chris
