CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH should have detected this, but
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH doesn't seem to work any more.
scripts/Makefile.modpost appears to be trying to pass -S to modpost if
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH, but I'm not seeing any warnings. The
CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH Kconfig help is not useful. What did we
do?
