No, I didn't do them by hand, it was a script.  Originally, it was a
couple, all basically the same, but removing each __dev*.  Then I'd do
a word diff to eyeball them to make sure the script didn't do
something goofy.

The whack-a-mole part came along because I was working against
linux-next and whatever patch series was right for one day wouldn't be
right for the next day because of some of the faster moving trees.

The all-in-one version of the script:

#! /usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use IO::InSitu;

sub processfile
{
    my $fn = shift;

    my ($in, $out) = open_rw($fn, $fn);

    while (<$in>) {
	s|__devexit_p\(([^)]+)\)|$1|;
	s|\s__devexit\b||;
	s|\s__devinitconst\b||;
	s|\s__devinitdata\b||;
	s|\s__devinit\b||;

	print $out $_;
    }

    close $in;
    close $out;
}

foreach my $fn (@ARGV) {
    processfile($fn);
}
