Subject: Make noirqdebug_setup function non init to fix modpost warning
From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx>
o noirqdebug_setup() is __init but it is being called by
quirk_intel_irqbalance() which if of type __devinit. If CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y,
quirk_intel_irqbalance() is put into text section and it is wrong to
call a function in __init section.
o MODPOST flags this on i386 if CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y
WARNING: vmlinux - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:noirqdebug_setup from .text between 'quirk_intel_irqbalance' (at offset 0xc010969e) and 'i8237A_suspend'
o Make noirqdebug_setup() non-init.
