Subject: [PATCH 19/19] kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer
to .init.text
From: Sam Ravnborg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 22:19:24 +0200
arm uses a lot of ops structures named *_timer that has legitimite
references to .init.text.
So let's add this variable to the list of variables that may reference
.init.text without causing any warning.
