Your patch fixes some of the warnings, but still leaves these for a
powerpc allnoconfig build:

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x25d80): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_double_array() to the function .init.text:memblock_free()
The function memblock_double_array() references
the function __init memblock_free().
This is often because memblock_double_array lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of memblock_free is wrong.

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x26318): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_reserve_reserved_regions() to the function .init.text:memblock_reserve()
The function memblock_reserve_reserved_regions() references
the function __init memblock_reserve().
This is often because memblock_reserve_reserved_regions lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of memblock_reserve is wrong.

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x26490): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_free_reserved_regions() to the function .init.text:memblock_free()
The function memblock_free_reserved_regions() references
the function __init memblock_free().
This is often because memblock_free_reserved_regions lacks a __init 
annotation or the annotation of memblock_free is wrong.

And these for a i386 defconfig build:

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x1e261): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_is_memory() to the variable .init.data:memblock
The function memblock_is_memory() references
the variable __initdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_is_memory lacks a __initdata 
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.

WARNING: mm/built-in.o(.text+0x1e27f): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_is_region_memory() to the variable .init.data:memblock
The function memblock_is_region_memory() references
the variable __initdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_is_region_memory lacks a __initdata 
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.
