2.6.0-test6: a few __init bugs

From: Robert T. Johnson

Here are several places where non-__init functions call __init functions
or reference __init data. I've looked at all of them and believe that
they are all either legitimate bugs or opportunities to declare more
code as __init to save memory. Thanks for looking over these, and sorry
if I've made any mistakes.

Best,
Rob

P.S. All these bugs were found with Cqual, the bug-finding tool
developed by Jeff Foster, John Kodumal, and many others, and available
at http://www.cs.umd.edu/~jfoster/cqual/, although the currently
released version of cqual only has primitive support for
__init bug-finding.

Linux 2.6.0-test6:

** Possible bug:
** drivers/pci/quirks.c:asus_hides_smbus_hostbridge() (__init)
in table: drivers/pci/quirks.c:pci_fixups (not __init)
indirect call f->hook(): drivers/pci/quirks.c:pci_do_fixups() (not __init)
called by: drivers/pci/quirks.c:pci_fixup_device() (not __init)
called by: drivers/pci/probe.c:pci_scan_slot() (not __init)
called by lots of hotplug enable() functions, e.g.
drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_core.c:ibm_configure_device() (not __init)
called by drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_core.c:enable_slot() (not __init)

Note: It looks like this may have been originally designed to initialize the
pci bus at startup, but has been re-used in the hotplug code, which means it
can be run after the __init segments have gone away.

Fix: Delete all the __init declarations on the quirks hooks.


** Code can be declared __init:
** arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c:get_fixed_ranges() (__init)
called by: arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c:get_mtrr_state() (not __init)
only caller: arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/main.c:init_other_cpus() (not __init)
only caller: arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/main.c:mtrr_init() (__init)
Fix: Declare get_mtrr_state() __init
Fix: Declare init_other_cpus() __init


** Code can be declared __init:
** arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c:io_apic_set_pci_routing() (not __init)
all callers are __init
Fix: Declare io_apic_set_pci_routing() __init


** Code should be declared __init?
** name_to_dev_t() (__init)
called by kernel/power/swsusp.c:read_suspend_image() (not __init)
called by kernel/power/swsusp.c:software_resume() (not __init)
Fix: declare read_suspend_image() __init
Fix: declare software_resume() __init

Note: read_suspend_image() in pmdisk.c is declared __init.
