On a second attempt, I did the same change for vmlinux instead of the
module (d'oh), and got a link failure instead:

(.text+0x3d4): undefined reference to `cpu_resume_mmu'

...

However, I also see a link failure in some rare configurations
with just your patch:

arch/arm/lib/lib.a(io-acorn.o): In function `outsl':
(.text+0x38): undefined reference to `printk'

The problem being a file in a library object that is not referenced,
but that references another symbol that is not defined
(CONFIG_PRINTK=n).
