Actually , if we replace __init __alloc_bootmem() with __cpuinit
__alloc_bootmem() that doesn't solve the problem. The mentioned
warning generates when CONFIG_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE=y is set. I think Ingo
is right. We can mark xsave_cntxt_init() as non-init. And we could
teach modpost to not to generate the warning
with __ref. Can we, Ingo ?
