stackvalidate reports the following warning: stackvalidate: arch/x86/crypto/aesni-intel_asm.o: _aesni_inc_init(): can't find starting instruction
stackvalidate gets confused when it tries to disassemble the following data in the .text section: .Lbswap_mask: .byte 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 Move it to .rodata which is a more appropriate section for read-only data.
