Thanks!
I more than less expected people to scream "ugly, ugly!". Maybe you
could consider the following patch, instead?
In non-HOTPLUG configurations, devinit and init sections in vmlinux
are lumped together during the final link. There is no good reason
to warn about section mismatches between them in this case, because
all code is discarded at the same time. This patch moves the lumping-
together to the compile stage, which makes the unnecessary warnings
go away. Same for MEMORY_HOTPLUG/meminit and HOTPLUG_CPU/cpuinit.
On the condition that someone with knowledge in this area confirms
that this approach is right and not for some reason undesirable:
