Apparently there is a significant number of section mismatches in the
2.6.25 kernel. These were already reported against 2.6.25-rc1 and are
still present in the final 2.6.25 release. These section mismatches
show up at least on the i386 and x86_64 architectures. Maybe it's a
good idea before a patch is merged not only to check whether the patch
applies cleanly but also to check whether it doesn't create any new
section mismatches ?

Sam, any of these look familiar (or put another way...are there still
outstanding section mismatch fixes in -mm)?

I'm looking forward to see where we are after Andrew's first merge.
