Warning about init section reference in start_kernel (2.6.23-rc4-mm1)

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Hi Peter,

I have seen the following warning on the recent -mm kernels when
compiling a i386 kernel:

  scripts/mod/modpost   -o /home/compudj/git/morestable/linux-2.6-lttng/Module.symvers    vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text.head+0x223): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text.1:start_kernel (between 'is386' and 'check_x87')

It looks like head.S jumps to start_kernel at the end of is386. Is this
ok and valid ? If yes, then I guess modpost should be updated.

Mathieu
