Module Initialisation Data

I noticed that under later kernel releases I can flag functions and data
in modules as initialisation only so they are thrown away. This is good
because I can throw away my hardware microcode which is fairly large but
if I have any PCMCIA devices I need to keep it so that I can reinitialise
the card later on if it is pulled out and inserted again. Is there a way
to optionally flag initialisation code and data as non discardable at
runtime.

Thanks
