All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):

>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0xa76d36): Section mismatch in reference from the function rtc_update_irq() to the variable .init.text:.L0
The function rtc_update_irq() references
the variable __init .L0 .
This is often because rtc_update_irq lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of .L0 is wrong.
