x86/nmi: Fix section mismatch warnings on 32-bit
It was reported that compiling for 32-bit caused a bunch of section mismatch warnings: VDSOSYM arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-syms.lds LD arch/x86/vdso/built-in.o LD arch/x86/built-in.o WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5af0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable test_nmi_ipi_callback_na.10451 to the function .init.text:test_nmi_ipi_callback() [...] WARNING: arch/x86/built-in.o(.data+0x5b04): Section mismatch in reference from the variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 to the function .init.text:nmi_unk_cb() The variable nmi_unk_cb_na.10399 references the function __init nmi_unk_cb() [...] Both of these are attributed to the internal representation of the nmiaction struct created during register_nmi_handler. The reason for this is that those structs are not defined in the init section whereas the rest of the code in nmi_selftest.c is. To resolve this, I created a new #define, register_nmi_handler_initonly, that tags the struct as __initdata to resolve the mismatch. This #define should only be used in rare situations where the register/unregister is called during init of the kernel. Big thanks to Jan Beulich for decoding this for me as I didn't have a clue what was going on.
