From: Raghavendra D Prabhu <rprabhu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: evoid section mismatch warning for memblock_type_name.
Following section mismatch warning is thrown during build;
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x32408f): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_type_name() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock
The function memblock_type_name() references
the variable __meminitdata memblock.
This is often because memblock_type_name lacks a __meminitdata
annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong.
This is because memblock_type_name makes reference to memblock variable
with attribute __meminitdata. Hence, the warning (even if the function is
inline).
