You define the weak function in the __init section.

Most but not all architectures had it in __init section.

And the remaining ones may not be defined in __init section. For instance look at the one in alpha 
architecture.

Have you checked that it is not a problem ? It would be good to say something about it in the commit 
description.

I think in a C file we don't try to save space as much as in a header file.

I would prefer something like:


void __init __weak trap_init(void)
{
}
