One warning left:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.cpuinit.text+0x4ad): Section mismatch in reference from the function fpu_init() to the function .init.text:init_thread_xstate()
The function __cpuinit fpu_init() references
a function __init init_thread_xstate().
If init_thread_xstate is only used by fpu_init then
annotate init_thread_xstate with a matching annotation.

x86_64 cpu_init() (marked __cpu_init) calls fpu_init() (marked __cpu_init)
and fpu_init calls init_thread_xstate (which is __init) if smp_processor_id() == 0.
So it's probably OK, but it should be fixed properly (without ugly __ref)
