[2.6.16-gitX] initcall at 0xffffffff804615d1: returned with error code -1

CC-ing author since I'm unsure about domain responsibility. The commit
"[PATCH] initcall failure reporting" AKA
c1cda48af8b330a23206eceef3bd030b53c979cd immediately triggered:

Since then (now at 2.6.16-git18) the last/lower one has vanished, but the
first one remains. The patch says that the initcall function should be
printed, but it seems to need some debugging option set. Please advice if
this is of interest (the addresses do not stay constant).

If you have CONFIG_KALLSYMS enabled then the kernel should print the name
of the function at that address.  It's pretty hard to turn off
CONFIG_KALLSYMS, actually.

If you _do_ have CONFIG_KALLSYMS enabled then something bad has happened -
you can look up those addresses with `nm -n vmlinux > foo' then searching
through foo.  (Or use addr2line, or gdb, or other things...)

Ah ok, kallsyms... I've been pampered by good quality kernels and turned it
off a long time ago.

initcall at 0xffffffff8049a5b0: late_hpet_init+0x0/0xb0(): returned with error code -1

loke@sleipner:/home/git$ grep -i hpet 2.6.16-git-kallsyms-.config
CONFIG_HPET_TIMER=y
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC=y
CONFIG_HPET=y
# CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ is not set
CONFIG_HPET_MMAP=y

Those options are just wish-thinking since the machine doesn't have that kind of timer.
So the warning should go away when I turn them off. Sorry about the noise.
