[PATCH 15/27] cpufreq: fix section mismatch warnings

From: Sam Ravnborg
Date: Sun Feb 17 2008 - 07:28:50 EST


Fix the following warnings:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe6711): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_unregister_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0xfe68af): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_register_driver() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_cpu_notifier
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.exit.text+0xc4fa): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpufreq_stats_exit() to the variable .cpuinit.data:cpufreq_stat_cpu_notifier

The warnings were casued by references to unregister_hotcpu_notifier()
from normal functions or exit functions.
This is flagged by modpost as a potential error because
it does not know that for the non HOTPLUG_CPU
scenario the unregister_hotcpu_notifier() is a nop.
Silence the warning by replacing the __initdata
annotation with a __refdata annotation.
