The processor_handler structure does not reference any __init / __exit code or data. Therefore the __refdata annotation is not needed. It used to be prior to commit fe7bf106ebc2 ("acpi: delete __cpuinit usage from all acpi files") due to the __cpuinit annotation of acpi_processor_add(). But with that commit in place that requirement has gone. The same is true for the acpi_cpu_notifier notifier block. acpi_cpu_soft_notify() used to be marked __cpuinit but lost its annotation in the above mentioned commit as well. Therefore the __refdata annotation isn't needed there either. Just drop the unneded __refdata annotations to be able to catch future section mismatches.
