find below the current set of warnings on -git. There are 62.

for example, instead of the rather cryptic:

  WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x1815e): Section mismatch: reference to 
  .init.text:calibrate_delay (between 'smp_callin' and '__cpu_up')

the following output would be more informative:

--------------------------------->
| function:
|
|  ./init/calibrate.c:void __devinit calibrate_delay(void)
|
| calls:
|
|  ./arch/x86/kernel/smpboot_32.c:static void __cpuinit smp_callin(void)
|
| but calibrate_delay() is __devinit while smp_callin() is __cpuinit. 
| Change smp_callin() to __devinit to resolve this warning.
|-------------------------------->

would result in a lot faster cycles of fixing this.

do we have all the info to print this?
