I have at least these 2 instances:

So this needs a6e60d84989fa0e91db7f236eda40453b0e44afa, which needs 
c0d9782f5b6d7157635ae2fd782a4b27d55a6013, which can't be applied cleanly 
because a3f8a30f3f0079c7edfc72e329eee8594fb3e3cb is missing in 4.9.

I have applied a6e60d84989fa0e91db7f236eda40453b0e44afa and modified it to 
directly use __attribute__((__copy__(initfn))) and (exitfn), which fixes the 
build for me.

Greetings,

Eike
