System being built : LFS 6.4 on a 4GB USB 2.0 stick
Host system used   : BLFS 6.3 on a 4GB USB 2.0 stick

Processor : AMD AM2 Athlon 64 LE-1620
RAM       : 2GB

I am getting the warnings below, first when compiling the 2.26.27.4 kernel in 
the LFS 6.4 book then with the 2.6.27.10 kernel. The kernel does compile and I 
can boot to a command line I can even connect to the internet with these 
kernels. So are these warnings anything to worry about?

I am not building any modules and I do not use a swap partition.

The function cpu_idle() references
the function __cpuinit cpu_uninit().
This is often because cpu_idle lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of cpu_uninit is wrong.

Later in the same compilation the same thing occurs:

If i386_start_kernel is only used by initial_code then
annotate i386_start_kernel with a matching annotation.

The kernel does compile thus:

Root device is (180, 1)
Setup is 12124 bytes (padded to 12288 bytes).
System is 2420 kB
CRC 37f16fb0
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#1)

Thanks,
Gary
