Subject: linux-next: build warning after merge of the akpm tree

Hi Andrew,

After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (lost of them)
produced this warning:

WARNING: init/mounts.o(.text+0x192): Section mismatch in reference from the function devt_from_partuuid() to the variable .init.data:root_wait
The function devt_from_partuuid() references
the variable __initdata root_wait.
This is often because devt_from_partuuid lacks a __initdata 
annotation or the annotation of root_wait is wrong.

Commit 185237e4cfab ("This patch makes two changes:"
init-add-root=partuuid=uuid-partnroff=%d-support-update.patch) adds the
reference to root_wait from the non-init function devt_from_partuuid().

The easiest thing to do is to remove __init_date from root_wait.

I have applied this patch as a merge fixup for today:

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@...b.auug.org.au>
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 12:09:35 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] do_mounts: remove __init_data from root_wait

as it is now used from a non init routine.
