Subject: net-next-2.6 compilation errors and section mismatches

Originally reported to the netdev list, as this was prompted by some recent
import/merge of another tree.  Andi Kleen recommended reporting here.

Ubuntu's config-2.6.31-14-generic -- plus defaults for all (NEW) config --
doesn't compile as of yesterday:

'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y vmlinux' has more section mismatches,
although one has been present for weeks:

/home/administer/net-next-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:74: warning: array subscript is above array bounds
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o(.text+0xa88): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_processor_add() to the function .cpuinit.text:acpi_processor_power_init()
The function acpi_processor_add() references
the function __cpuinit acpi_processor_power_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_add lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of acpi_processor_power_init is wrong.

WARNING: drivers/acpi/built-in.o(.text+0x21f24): Section mismatch in reference from the function acpi_processor_add() to the function .cpuinit.text:acpi_processor_power_init()
The function acpi_processor_add() references
the function __cpuinit acpi_processor_power_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_add lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of acpi_processor_power_init is wrong.

/home/administer/net-next-2.6/include/linux/mca-legacy.h:12:2: warning: #warning "MCA legacy - please move your driver to the new sysfs api"
WARNING: drivers/net/phy/built-in.o(.devexit.text+0x13): Section mismatch in reference from the function mdio_gpio_bus_destroy() to the function .devinit.text:mdio_gpio_bus_deinit()
The function __devexit mdio_gpio_bus_destroy() references
a function __devinit mdio_gpio_bus_deinit().
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __devinit annotation of
mdio_gpio_bus_deinit() so it may be used outside an init section.

WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.devexit.text+0x13): Section mismatch in reference from the function mdio_gpio_bus_destroy() to the function .devinit.text:mdio_gpio_bus_deinit()

The function acpi_processor_add() references
the function __cpuinit acpi_processor_power_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_add lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of acpi_processor_power_init is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x2c8469): Section mismatch in reference from the function twl4030_sih_setup() to the function .init.text:set_irq_noprobe()
The function twl4030_sih_setup() references
the function __init set_irq_noprobe().
This is often because twl4030_sih_setup lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of set_irq_noprobe is wrong.

The function twl_init_irq() references
