Subject: [PATCH] x86: fix two modpost warnings
Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:37:53 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4880AAC1.76E4.0078.0@novell.com> (raw)

Even though it's only the difference of the two __initdata symbols
that's being calculated, modpost still doesn't like this. So rather
calculate the size once in an __init function and store it for later
use.
