Yes, this highlights a recent problem with CONFIG_HOTPLUG. These
markers were removed when the "add PCI ids to your table dynamically"
patch was added in 2.5.x. The patch didn't require CONFIG_HOTPLUG, and
fun ensued. This got fixed (IIRC), but also many drivers had their
__devinitdata markers removed. This is a fuzzy area where Greg loves to
make the case for removing CONFIG_HOTPLUG completely :)
