I took a more careful look than with recent -gitXX, and
for reporting's sake here's a few MODPOST warnings:

MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xfd) and 'try_name'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x196e4) and
'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x19716) and
'cache_reap

Grepping in my recent kernel build logs, the rest_init one
seems to be present since -git7 but wasn't in -git6.

Googling around seems that this has already been looked
into in the 2.6.20-rc series, with patches that may or may
not have made it into mainline.

I still have old .config files, so if there's anything useful I
can do to provide more info, just holler.
