include/linux/pci.h declares pci_init as:
extern unsigned long pci_init (unsigned long mem_start, unsigned long mem_end);
while in init/main.c it's declared as:
extern long pci_init(long, long);
In this case the mistake is trivial and shouldn't effect the operation of
the kernel, but there's scope for introducing subtle bugs in this
way---e.g., a function `int foo (char *)' being declared `extern int foo
(const char *)' elsewhere.
The quick fix in this case is the patch below. But in the long term,
wouldn't the best thing to do be replace all of those `extern foo()'
declarations in .c files with `#include's of the appropriate .h files?
Ralph.
