This build error showed up in linux-next tag next-20100820 for ia64: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x4a952): Section mismatch in reference from the function ata_init() to the function .exit.text:ata_sff_exit() The function __init ata_init() references a function __exit ata_sff_exit(). This is often seen when error handling in the init function uses functionality in the exit path. The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of ata_sff_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section. Sure enough, dropping the __exit fixes the problem.
