* mce.c: mce_create_device() is marked __cpuinit and hence goes into .init.text when HOTPLUG_CPU=n. However, the hotplug notifier callback function mce_cpu_callback() is not marked __cpuinit therefore goes into .text section unconditionally. This causes reference to .init.text from .text which would cause modpost to warn (bogusly, because a CPU hotplug event can never happen anyway if HOTPLUG_CPU=n). Anyway, let's fix this by marking callback as __cpuinit and the notifier_block as __cpuinitdata. Having done that, mce_remove_device() is only ever called from __cpuinit marked functions so can be marked __cpuinit itself.
* mce_amd.c: Has an exactly similar section mismatch as that discussed in previous case. Solve it similarly by marking notifier callback as __cpuinit and notifier_block as __cpuinitdata. This causes a viral effect and allows us to mark a bunch of other functions as __cpuinit also.
