We have gotten rid of devinit markup. A recent patch of Linus' makes me wonder if we similarly should get rid of cpuinit markup?
Just as with devices, the CPU hotplug machinery has been leveraged to support a number of pieces of functionality such as suspend, which means that on anything but the most embedded systems this functionality is likely needed anyway.
On x86-64, for an "allyesconfig" build, the total amount of space in all the .cpu* sections combined is 100K.
