[PATCH] kernel/cpu.c: Section mismatch warning fix.

From: Rakib Mullick
Date: Thu Oct 30 2008 - 00:05:09 EST


LD kernel/built-in.o
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.text+0xb7c8): Section mismatch in
reference from the function notify_cpu_starting() to the variable
.cpuinit.data:cpu_chain
The function notify_cpu_starting() references
the variable __cpuinitdata cpu_chain.
This is often because notify_cpu_starting lacks a __cpuinitdata
annotation or the annotation of cpu_chain is wrong.

This patch fixes the above section mismatch warning. If anything else
please notice.
Thanks.
