I've been also debugging this since Andrew pointed me about a similar
bug (sound/pci/maestro3.c).  I actually got section mismatch errors
when pci id table is defined with __devinitdata tag together with
CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n, either at compile time or at link time.  So, my
conclusion is that no tags should be used for pci id table.

Interestingly, Documentation/pci.txt mentions that __devinitdata
_should_ be used:
