[PATCH] i386: modpost apic related warning fixes



o Modpost generates warnings for i386 if compiled with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y

WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:find_unisys_acpi_oem_table from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc0101eda) and 'enable_apic_mode'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:acpi_get_table_header_early from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc0101ef0) and 'enable_apic_mode'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:parse_unisys_oem from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc0101f2e) and 'enable_apic_mode'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:setup_unisys from .text between 'acpi_madt_oem_check' (at offset 0xc0101f37) and 'enable_apic_mode'WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:parse_unisys_oem from .text between 'mps_oem_check' (at offset 0xc0101ec7) and 'acpi_madt_oem_check'
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:es7000_sw_apic from .text between 'enable_apic_mode' (at offset 0xc0101f48) and 'check_apicid_present'

o Some functions which are inline (acpi_madt_oem_check) are not inlined by
  compiler as these functions are accessed using function pointer. These
  functions are put in .text section and they in-turn access __init type
  functions hence modpost generates warnings.

o Do not iniline acpi_madt_oem_check, instead make it __init.
