Subject: [PATCH] alpha: fix trivial section mismatch warnings

Fix the following section mismatch warnings:
WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x7c78): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:init_rtc_irq (between 'common_init_rtc' and 'timer_interrupt')
WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x7c7c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:init_rtc_irq (between 'common_init_rtc' and 'timer_interrupt')
WARNING: arch/alpha/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x2c30): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:srm_console_setup (between 'srmcons' and 'tsunami_pci_ops')

In all three cases functions marked __init was called outside __init context.
So the fix was to just drop the __init attribute.

Andrew - these are trivial so I would like you to take these.
The alpha people (at least rth) are struggling with some glibc issues atm.

There are still a few section mismatch warnings pending for alpha but they
require more surgery than I am willing to look into.
Maybe we should just use __init_refok to ignore them,
but I will await until the alpha people has a few moments lefts.

	Sam
