Subject: powernow-k8: section mismatch

Hi,

I got the following with current git:

    WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/powernow-k8.o(.exit.text+0x1c): Section mismatch in reference from the function cleanup_module() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpb_nb                      
    The function __exit cleanup_module() references                                                 
    a variable __cpuinitdata cpb_nb.                                                                
    This is often seen when error handling in the exit function                                     
    uses functionality in the init path.                                                            
    The fix is often to remove the __cpuinitdata annotation of                                      
    cpb_nb so it may be used outside an init section.                                               

Looks like it was introduced by
"powernow-k8: Add core performance boost support".
