For the most part this is due to calls / short jumps between .head.text,
.text, and .init.text.  Probably old, now seen because the image is now
too large.

On top of that, there are various runtime warnings.

sh:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 932 at mm/slab.c:2666 cache_alloc_refill+0x8a/0x594

Known problem. Fix was under discussion. I don't know if it was accepted.

sparc:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at ./include/linux/dma-mapping.h:516 sparc_lance_probe_one+0x428/0x4f

Missing initialization of coherent_dma_mask in the respective drivers.

Each platform driver instantiated through a devicetree node now generates
the following warning:

esp ffd38e00: DMA mask not set

It isn't a traceback so it may fly under the radar. There is nothing the
drivers can do about it; the message is generated by the core before the
driver probe function is called. No idea what a correct fix might be.
