Subject: Re:[PATCH 0/7] post x86 merge section mismatch fixes

Hello Marcin,


I have applied your patches on my fresh 2.6.27-git2 kernel and the 
section mismatches are now fixed, just remaining the following:

> WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x347): 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.
>

Thanks and regards.
