That brings up something I wanted to ask you.
I'd like to send a patch to Linus to just delete __devinit and friends
entirely from init.h, but that will break the linux-next tree from
building in places (like this one, and in a few others.)
Is that ok? That should finally get everyone's attention and keep them
from the cargo-cult programming mode of using these attributes :)
thanks,
