The function dmi_alloc() references
the function __init extend_brk().
This is often because dmi_alloc lacks a __init annotation or the
annotation of extend_brk is wrong.

most of them are not.

Hm, dmi_alloc() is a static inline which simply calls extend_brk(), so it should be a non-issue. Does this fix it?
