Hello Marcin,


I have applied your patches on my fresh 2.6.27-git2 kernel and the 
section mismatches are now fixed, just remaining the following:

> WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x347): Section 
> mismatch in reference from the function fpu_init() to the function

Thanks and regards.
