o init() is a non __init function in .text section but it calls many
  functions which are in .init.text section. Hence MODPOST generates lots
  of cross reference warnings on i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:smp_prepare_cpus 
from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc0101049) and 'rest_init'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:migration_init 
from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc010104e) and 'rest_init'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:spawn_ksoftirqd 
from .text between 'init' (at offset 0xc0101053) and 'rest_init'

o This patch breaks down init() in two parts. One part which can go
  in .init.text section and can be freed and other part which has to 
  be non __init(init_post()). Now init() calls init_post() and init_post()
  does not call any functions present in .init sections. Hence getting
  rid of warnings.
