My audit of i386 allmodconfig found these instances of non-modular
code needlessly using the modular equivalents of their built-in
counterparts.

In fixing that, we get rid of some dead code, make the mandate of
the remaining code more clear, and leave behind better examples
for future platform code to copy/emulate.

Several of them are trivial, in that there is no binary output
change.  A couple others have dead code removal so the binary
output will be slightly smaller.   We've done a direct mapping
of module_init --> device_initcall in each instance, so there is
no initcall reordering risks here.  Overall, in all cases, the
runtime should be completely unchanged.

Where others have deployed module_param() already, we have to
leave it, because there is no equivalent builtin_param (not yet)
and we have to remain compatible with existing bootarg users.

Paul.
