it means there is code that is not marked as init making references=20
function/data that is marked as init ... this is normally not noticed at bo=
ot=20
as the init sections arent cleared/clobbered until well after boot and=20
usually these are problems just for initialization routines ...

i'd review the symbols that are being warned about here to see if they're=20
missing the proper section markers (aka functions that should be labeled as=
=20
__init but arent)
