Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix section mismatch warnings in kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c

From: Leonardo Potenza <lpotenza@...ind.it>

The function uv_acpi_madt_oem_check() has been marked __init, the struct apic_x2apic_uv_x has been marked __refdata.
The aim is to remove the following section mismatch messages:

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/apic/built-in.o(.data+0x1368): Section mismatch in reference from the variable apic_x2apic_uv_x to the function .cpuinit.text:uv_wakeup_secondary()
The variable apic_x2apic_uv_x references
the function __cpuinit uv_wakeup_secondary()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, 

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x68e8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable apic_x2apic_uv_x to the function .cpuinit.text:uv_wakeup_secondary()
The variable apic_x2apic_uv_x references
the function __cpuinit uv_wakeup_secondary()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x7b36f): Section mismatch in reference from the function uv_acpi_madt_oem_check() to the function .init.text:early_ioremap()
The function uv_acpi_madt_oem_check() references
the function __init early_ioremap().
This is often because uv_acpi_madt_oem_check lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of early_ioremap is wrong.

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.text+0x7b38d): Section mismatch in reference from the function uv_acpi_madt_oem_check() to the function .init.text:early_iounmap()
The function uv_acpi_madt_oem_check() references
the function __init early_iounmap().
This is often because uv_acpi_madt_oem_check lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of early_iounmap is wrong.

WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x8668): Section mismatch in reference from the variable apic_x2apic_uv_x to the function .cpuinit.text:uv_wakeup_secondary()
The variable apic_x2apic_uv_x references
the function __cpuinit uv_wakeup_secondary()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
