Fix these 2.6.19-rc1 build warnings from modpost:

The crux of the matter is that modpost only checks the relocatable
sections. i386 vmlinux has none, so modpost does no checking on it (it
does on the modules).  However, sparc vmlinux has plenty of
relocatable sections because it is being built with 'ld -r' (to allow
for btfixup processing).  So for sparc, modpost does do a lot of
checking. Sure enough, running modpost on arch/sparc/boot/image yields
no output (i.e. all is well).

modpost.c check_sec_ref() has:
                /* We want to process only relocation sections and not .init */
                if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_RELA) {
			// check here
                } else if (sechdrs[i].sh_type == SHT_REL) {
			// check here
		}
