All warnings:

WARNING: drivers/net/ethernet/dlink/sundance.o(.text+0x2e87): Section
mismatch in reference from the function sundance_probe1() to the variable
.devinit.rodata:sundance_pci_tbl
The function sundance_probe1() references
the variable __devinitconst sundance_pci_tbl.
This is often because sundance_probe1 lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of sundance_pci_tbl is wrong.

No, no need to do this, it's fallout of the big dev* removal that is in
net-next right now, the warnings will go away when merged with my
driver-core-next tree which will happen in 3.8-rc1.

So please don't worry about it, it's a harmless message at the moment.
