Trying to compile the latest git kernel pulled today (16.09) greeted me
with this error :
BUILD arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Root device is (8, 2)
Setup is 13996 bytes (padded to 14336 bytes).
System is 2381 kB

Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready (#7)
Building modules, stage 2.

WARNING: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/cb_pcidio.o(.text+0xe5): Section
mismatch in reference from the function pcidio_attach() to the variable
.devinit.rodata:pcidio_pci_table
The function pcidio_attach() references
the variable __devinitconst pcidio_pci_table.
This is often because pcidio_attach lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of pcidio_pci_table is wrong.
