2.6.17-rc6 (potential) bugs:

[Mark Lord]

> From building the 2.6.17-rc6 kernel on my x86 machine:
> WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.data: from .text between 'acpi_processor_power_init' (at offset 0xec7) and 'acpi_processor_cst_has_changed'

This is due to processor_power_dmi_table[] (__cpuinitdata)
being accessed from acpi_processor_power_init() (a non-__init function).
If the memory for the table is ever released after bootup,
then this code may crash and burn.

> WARNING: drivers/video/macmodes.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:mac_find_mode from __ksymtab between '__ksymtab_mac_find_mode' (at offset 0x0) and '__ksymtab_mac_map_monitor_sense'

This one looks like a similar issue, but my eyes failed to spot the offending lines.

Cheers
