on i386:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x29b16): Section mismatch in reference from the function xbc_alloc_mem() to the function .init.text:memblock_alloc_try_nid()
The function xbc_alloc_mem() references
the function __init memblock_alloc_try_nid().
This is often because xbc_alloc_mem lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of memblock_alloc_try_nid is wrong.


Looks like lib/bootconfig.c::xbc_alloc_mem() should be marked
as __init (when it's built for KERNEL).
