[PATCH] [POWERPC] suppress modpost warnings for references from the .toc

From: Stephen Rothwell <hidden>
Date: 2007-05-24 04:16:28
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: kernel build + files below scripts/ (unless maintained elsewhere), the rest · Maintainers: Nathan Chancellor, Nicolas Schier, Linus Torvalds

We should do better here by effetively "dereferencing" references to
the .toc (or the .got2) section, but that is much harder.
