Darren Jenkins <[email protected]> pointed out a
number of false positives where we referenced variables
from a _driver variable.
Fix it by check for that pattern and ignore it.
Randy.Dunlap <[email protected]> pointed out a similar
set of warnings for a number of scsi drivers.
In scsi world they misname their variables *_template or
*_sht so add these to list of variables that may have references
to .init.text with no warning.
Randy.Dunlap <[email protected]> also pointed out a scsi driver
with many references to .exit.text from .rodata. This is compiler
generated references and we already ignore these for .init.text, so
ignore them for .exit.text also.

Hi Linus. Please apply to 2.6.17-rc1
This fixes a number of false warnings - so we can concentrate on the
real ones.
