Hm, I don't see it:

$ git grep -E '__(dev)?exit_p' linus/master:drivers/virtio/virtio.c

$

Well, you could add something, but adding __devexit is a noop for most
kernels. It matters only if you don't have CONFIG_HOTPLUG.

In this series I only addressed drivers that use __{,dev}exit and
__{,dev}exit_p inconsistenly. I.e. my script greps for __{,dev}exit_p
and checks the prototype of the wrapped function. I have another
script that does a similar check for platform_devices in general. This
one also notices if you have a __devexit function that isn't wrapped by
__devexit_p.

So if you want to see drivers/virtio/virtio.c improving, send patches
yourself :-)

Best regards
Uwe
