Subject: linux-next: build warning after merging all the trees (tip tree
 related)

Hi all,

After merging all the trees, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc44x_defconfig) produced this warning:

WARNING: drivers/pci/built-in.o(__ksymtab+0x1a0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_pci_register_set_vga_state to the function .init.text:pci_register_set_vga_state()
The symbol pci_register_set_vga_state is exported and annotated __init 
Fix this by removing the __init annotation of pci_register_set_vga_state or drop the export.

Introduced by commit 95a8b6efc5d07103583f706c8a5889437d537939 ("pci:
Update pci_set_vga_state() to call arch functions").  It really doesn't
make much sense to apply EXPORT_SYMBOL() to a function marked __init (or
vice versa, as the case may be :-)).

Cheers,
