The typical layout is now:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x372ec): Section mismatch: reference to .devinit.text:pci_scan_one_pbm in 'psycho_scan_bus'
This is first step towards more readable warnings.

Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will
report additional section mismatch'es but this
should in the end makes it possible to get rid of
all of them.
See help text in lib/Kconfig.debug for details.

Introducing separate sections for __dev* (HOTPLUG),
__cpu* (HOTPLUG_CPU) and __mem* (MEMORY_HOTPLUG)
allows us to do a much more reliable Section mismatch
check in modpost. We are no longer dependent on the actual
configuration of for example HOTPLUG.
This has the effect that all users see much more
Section mismatch warnings than before because they
were almost all hidden when HOTPLUG was enabled.
The advantage of this is that when building a piece
of code then it is much more likely that the Section
mismatch errors are spotted and the warnings will be
felt less random of nature.

Change the logic in modpost so we identify all the
bad combinations of sections that refer to other
sections.
Compared to the previous approach we are much less
dependent on knowledge of what additional sections
the tool chain uses and thus we can keep the false
positives low.
The implmentation is changed to use a table based
lookup and we now check all combinations in first
pass so we no longer need separate passes for init
and exit sections.
Tested that the same warnings are generated for
an allyesconfig build without CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

Split a too long function up in smaller bits to make
prgram logic easier to follow.
A few related changes done due to parameter
changes.
No functional changes.

The relocation record sometimes contained an address
which was not an exactly match for a symbol.
Implment some simple logic such that if there
is a symbol within 20 bytes of the address contained
in the relocation record then print the name of this
symbol.
With this change modpost could find symbol names
for the remaining .init.text symbols in my
allyesconfig build for x86_64.

It is very convinient to say:
scripts/mod/modpost mm/built-in.o
to check if any section mismatch errors occured
in mm/ (as an example).
Fix it so this is possible again.

Remove the tmp file when exiting. Noticed by Arjan van de Ven.
Catch mktemp failure and exit with message.
Trap kill or other signals and exit cleanly.

providing proper dependencies.

Rather than fixing the output directory in the generated Makefile,
determine it from the placement of Makefile. This allows moving
the build tree around or accessing it through different mount paths.
(The lastword definition is a compatibility one for make prior to 3.81;
newer make will simply ignore it and use the [faster] built-in.)

akpm complained about overly long lines in modpost.c and
when started additional style issues were fixed:
o Updated my copyright
o Removed unneeded {}
o Drop assignments in if ()
o Spaces around operators
o Break long lines
o locate * near variable not type
o Fix a format specifier for sizeof()
o Corrected placement of '{' and '}'
o spaces to tabs (but use tabs only for indention)
modpost.c is not checkpatch clean. Readability were favoured
on top of checkpatch compliance.
But checkpatch were used to find additional stuff to clean up.

rand and srand functions conform also to C89 in addition to POSIX.1-2001,
which makes them a bit more portable (work also on MinGW host). Linux man
page also says:
"The versions of rand() and srand() in the Linux C Library use the same
random number generator as random() and srandom()".
* Use C89 conformant functions rand() and srand()
