Greg KH is actively removing CONFIG_HOTPLUG altogether -- see https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/4/489 That will make __devinit resolve to nothing in all cases, and we'll eventually remove __devinit completely. So we don't want to convert __init to __devinit; we have to remove the __init altogether. I think that means we have to update all arches first to avoid the section mismatches. So I think Thierry is on the right track: 1) Change all arch pcibios_update_irq() implementations (and probably a few other things) to be non-__init 2) Change pci_fixup_irqs() to be non-__init Bjorn -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-tegra" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
