[PATCH 0/4] sh: fix up modular use in non-modular code

[Paul Gortmaker]

For anyone new to the underlying goal of this cleanup, we are trying to
make kernel code consistent with the Makefiles/Kconfigs that control them.

This means not using modular functions/macros for code that can never
be built as a module.  Some of the other downfalls this leads to are:

 (1) it is easy to accidentally write unused module_exit and remove code
 (2) it can be misleading when reading the source, thinking it can be
     modular when the Makefile and/or Kconfig prohibit it
 (3) it requires the include of the module.h header file which in turn
     includes nearly everything else, thus adding to CPP overhead.
 (4) it gets copied/replicated into other drivers and spreads like weeds.

Three of the four commits here are completely trivial with zero runtime
impact whatsoever.  The fourth has a deletion of a ".remove" function
and as we've done elsewhere, we block the sysfs ability to reach in and
manually execute that function, since there isn't a sane use case for
which doing that makes sense.

Build tested on today's linux-next ; full build fails on duplicate syms
from OF generic board, but that is a known and reported issue elsewhere;
it has nothing to do with the changes here.
