start_secondary_prolog() is in asm, so I don't know what you're supposed
to do with that.

I think ïpci_dn_reconfig_notifier() could be __devinit, but it's not
clear because the code that calls it is not __devinit or conditional on
HOTPLUG, eventhough in practice I think it is only used for hotplug.
