Does it matter?

The fact that CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y forces GCC to place these
out-of-line is really a debugging aid, since it shows us what it could
potentially leave out-of-line. It's not the *only* reason GCC might do this
(e.g. I see sanitizers and other debug options often have similar effects on
arm64).

So FWIW, for the patch:

  Acked-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>

... as I'd like this for arm64, even if you don't beleive that's necessary for
x86.

Thanks,
Mark.
