OK. Then, I think we also want to fix these warnings probably introduced by
commit a6021559 "UBUNTU: SAUCE: (no-up) Modularize vesafb".

WARNING: drivers/video/vesafb.o(.exit.text+0x42): Section mismatch in reference from the function vesafb_remove() to the (unknown reference) .init.data:(unknown)
The function __exit vesafb_remove() references
a (unknown reference) __initdata (unknown).
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __initdata annotation of
(unknown) so it may be used outside an init section.

WARNING: drivers/video/vesafb.o(.exit.text+0x4a): Section mismatch in reference from the function vesafb_remove() to the variable .init.data:vesafb_fix
The function __exit vesafb_remove() references
a variable __initdata vesafb_fix.
This is often seen when error handling in the exit function
uses functionality in the init path.
The fix is often to remove the __initdata annotation of
vesafb_fix so it may be used outside an init section.

Ack for all the 3 patches (oneiric, natty, lucid), but shouldn't this
also be marked as (no-up) in the commit title?

As the patch they are fixing is (no-up) yes, I presume in Precise we
will squash it into the original patch anyhow.  Applied with this
modification in all cases.
