Subjectwrong usage of __devexit_p and __exit_p
Hello,

I found several drivers that use __devexit_p and __exit_p on functions
that don't live in .devexit.text or .exit.text resp.

The impact is either that these functions use memory without being used
or that they don't link.

I send 24 patches as a reply to this mail. I choosed to move the
functions into the respective function instead of using the right
__{dev,}exit_p wrapper because it seems to me to have less impact.

I didn't made the effort to find out the right people to Cc: but I hope
that Andrew takes care of that :-)

Best regards
Uwe
