I guess this patch should fix it, however I fail to reproduce the original issue.
Maybe it's up to the specific compiler version.

Subject: [PATCH] memblock: fix memblock_bottom_up() and
 memblock_set_bottom_up() annotations

memblock_bottom_up() and memblock_set_bottom_up() lack __meminitdata
annotations causing compiler warnings like:
  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4111c4): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_bottom_up() to the
  variable .meminit.data:memblock

Fix it by adding the missing annotation and removing the wrong
__meminit annotation.
