Perhaps I should have mentioned this in the commit message, but the patch isn't actually used in a hotplug scenario. In fact, the code is still run once at boot time, only very late. Grant's deferred probing allows the PCIe controller driver to postpone initialization until all the devices that it depends on (regulators) have been probed. This has the side-effect that the probing actually takes place *after* code and data annotated with __init have already been freed. Thierry
