Subject[PATCH 19/19] kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer to .init.text
Subject: [PATCH 19/19] kbuild: whitelist references from variables named _timer to .init.text
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

arm uses a lot of ops structures named *_timer that has legitimite
references to .init.text.
So let's add this variable to the list of variables that may reference
.init.text without causing any warning.
