Ping.  Any chance of getting this in before 3.1 ?

From: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
GPIO: Fix build errors with gpio-generic.c

Building a kernel with hotplug disabled results in a link failure:

`bgpio_remove' referenced in section `___ksymtab_gpl+bgpio_remove' of drivers/built-in.o: defined in discarded section `.devexit.text' of drivers/built-in.o

This is caused because of the bgpio_remove is exported.  It is illegal
to export symbols which are discarded either at link time or as part of
an init/exit section.

Fix this by dropping the __devexit attributation from bgpio_remove().
Also drop the __devinit attributation from bgpio_init().
