From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

This is needed on MIPS where the same mechanism as get_user() is used to
intercept bus error exceptions for some hardware probes. Without this
patch modpost will throw spurious warnings:

LD vmlinux
SYSMAP System.map
SYSMAP .tmp_System.map
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: arch/mips/sgi-ip22/built-in.o(__dbe_table+0x0): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
