Today with the section resolution used by modpost I can annotate the full datastructure to say that references to __*init/__*exit should not be flagged - thedata are simply put in a dedicated section. The more fine grained approach you are requesting needs assistance with sparse I think. I will explore that later when I get section mismatch stuff under control. With section mismatch warnings being converted to errors soon I foresee a bit nosie I need to concentrate on first. But at least sparc64 is in pretty good shape now.
