It doesn't make a lot of sense to export an __init symbol to modules. I
guess it's OK in this case, but we get warnings:
WARNING: drivers/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_get_node from __ksymtab between '__ksymtab_acpi_get_node' (at offset 0x1040) and '__ksymtab_acpi_get_pxm'
WARNING: drivers/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_get_pxm from __ksymtab between '__ksymtab_acpi_get_pxm' (at offset 0x1050) and '__ksymtab_acpi_unlock_battery_dir'
One fix would be to statically link them again. Another fix would be to
wrap the exports in #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY_MODULE. Neither is
very attractive.
Coold you have a think about it please? The config is at
http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/config-akpm2.txt
Thanks.
