Subject: [PATCH 1/1] x86/kernel/cpu/common.c: Fix section mismatch warnings

From: Fenghua Yu <fenghua.yu@...el.com>

Fix kernel compilation warnings from commit:
de5397ad5b9ad22e2401c4dacdf1bb3b19c05679

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x1e07): Section mismatch in reference from the function generic_identify() to the variable .init.data:disable_smep
The function __cpuinit generic_identify() references
a variable __initdata disable_smep.
If disable_smep is only used by generic_identify then
annotate disable_smep with a matching annotation.

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x1b10): Section mismatch in reference from the function identify_cpu() to the function .init.text:setup_smep() The function __cpuinit identify_cpu() references a function __init setup_smep().
If setup_smep is only used by identify_cpu then annotate setup_smep with a matching annotation.

Change disable_smep from __initdata to __cpuinitdata.

Change setup_smep() from __init to __cpuinit.
