>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x10de3e): Section mismatch in reference from the function i915_globals_exit.cold() to the function .exit.text:__i915_globals_flush()
The function i915_globals_exit.cold() references a function in an exit section.
Often the function __i915_globals_flush() has valid usage outside the exit section
and the fix is to remove the __exit annotation of __i915_globals_flush.
