6.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit a3df1526da480c089c20868b7f4d486b9f266001 ]
Theoretically, we could export conditionally-discarded code sections,
such as .meminit*, if all the users can become modular under a certain
condition. However, that would be difficult to control and such a tricky
case has never occurred.
