To put credits right I just ported the functionality of the two scripts developed by Keith Owens (reference_init.pl and reference_discarded.pl) to modpost so the check is run each time moduels are build. All errors introduced in the process are mine. The scripts are kept for now so one can double check.
I had in mind to fix some of the easier ones but work is hindering it atm.
For now it gives a warning when a drivers uses module_parm_array() and uses __initdata for parameters. This is a false warning - at least if sysfs attribute is '0'. Hope to look into this later.
