Only the strings for the devices which are present in your system at boot time
survive, because they're copied. The rest are lost when __initdata is dropped.
Which means that hot-swap PCI and CardBus users can't see the pretty names -
but that isn't too much of a problem because you don't really need them in the
kernel in the first place.
