Subject: modpost white list pattern adjustment
From: "Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>
gcc puts data into .data.rel or .data.rel.* on some architectures (e.g.
ia64) or under certain conditions, so whatever is legal relative to
.data should also be legal for those other sections. Fixes a few
modpost warnings on ia64.
