[PATCH 24/33] Whitelist references from __dbe_table to .init

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Tue Jul 17 2007 - 10:18:36 EST


From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to
intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes. Without this
patch modpost will throw spurious warnings:

LD vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
SYSMAP .tmp_System.map
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
