Tag svm_hv_hardware_setup() with __init to fix a modpost warning as the

post-init. The helper is only called from svm_hardware_setup(), which is
also __init, i.e. other than the modpost warning, lack of __init is benign.

Done. It's caused by the compiler deciding not to inline the function, probably.

Also Cc'ed stable.
