[PATCH, v2] x86/PCI: don't export a __devinit function

[Jan Beulich]

Exporting a __devinit function (pcibios_scan_specific_bus()) isn't
correct. (Michal, any reason why modpost only warns about exported
__init functions?) Short of being able to think of a better solution,
and short of making the whole call tree (reaching into the arch-
independent part of the PCI subsystem) non-__devinit, export the
symbol only when HOTPLUG is enabled (which is always the case for non-
expert configurations), use section mismatch avoidance annotations for
that case (knowing that __devinit functions will not be discarded),
and mark the symbol __devinit only in the !HOTPLUG case.

Consequently, EDAC_I7CORE's use of that function then has to depend on
CONFIG_HOTPLUG. A fundamental question of course if whether this driver
has to use that function in the first place (i.e. whether it wouldn't
be better to just remove the export) - the problem it tries to address
happens on other systems too, but the PCI bus the devices in question
live on isn't necessarily bus 255. For the affected system I have, the
alternative approach is to set pcibios_last_bus from __pci_mmcfg_init()
based on the highest bus number on segment 0 being covered by MCFG.

v2: Rather than making the whole i7core_edac driver depend on HOTPLUG,
    make only the code using the symbol in question depend on this
    option (unless built into the kernel).
