Hi Anders, Sam,

After your fix "kbuild, modpost: Check the section flags, to catch
missing ax/aw", I get a lot of warnings like the following during
modpost on x86-64:

WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.o (.comment.SUSE.OPTs): unexpected non-allocatable section.
Did you forget to use "ax"/"aw" in a .S file?
Note that for example <linux/init.h> contains
section definitions for use in .S files.

Apparently there's one such warning for every module on my system, that
is, 907. That's a lot, and pretty annoying. How do I solve this? I don't
know much about assembly.

Thanks,
