Re: [RFC] [patch 1/2] add non_init_kernel_text_address

Subject: Don't report discarded init pages as kernel text.

Current code could cause a bug in symbol_put_addr() if an arch used
kmalloc module text: we might think the symbol belongs to the core
kernel.

The downside is that this might make backtraces through (discarded)
init functions harder to read on some archs, but we already have that
issue for modules and noone has complained.

Thanks Rusty,  This patch fixes my problem.
