Please always provide at least a copy of the error message when providing
patches which fix warnings, or build errors, or section mismatches.
For section mismatches, an analysis of what caused the problem would help,
too. It saves others from having to do the same thing.
In this case, I'd need to see what error is being fixed so that I can judge
the seriousness of the problem. In this case I don't _think_ it'll be
terribly serious because iirc most architectures don't free exitcall memory.

Fix section mismatch in the Adaptec DPT SCSI Raid driver.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x1fcd2): Section mismatch:
reference to .exit.text:adpt_exit (between 'adpt_init' and 'ahc_linux_init')
This warning is due to adaptec device detection calling the exit routine
on failure to properly register the adaptec device.
The exit routine + call was added on July 30 by

Subject: [SCSI] dpt_i2o: convert to SCSI hotplug model.
Mathew: isn't a module exit routine a little too strong to be calling
on the failure of a single device? Module exit implies that other,
non-failing adaptec raid devices will also get shut down.
