Yes, the __dev* #defines are still in init.h right now.  I've not
touched them yet on the thinking they can't be removed until all users

Maybe it'd be a good idea to change them to nothing now.  That way
anything that's still using them won't have compile failures, but the
section mismatches would go away.
