At the end of this email is one idea I came up with but it still
results in:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.sun4v_2insn_patch+0x4f8): Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG is set because driver initialization code has to be
marked with __devinit and with HOTPLUG that isn't __init.
This means it's impossible to call add_preferred_console() (either
directly or indirectly via a helper like sunserial_console_match())
from a driver init routine.
The only way I can think of to "work around" this is to mark
sunserial_console_match() as __init_refok, and use some static
variable in suncore which starts as "0" gets set to "1" via a
late_initcall() to block the call to add_preferred_console().
But that's just gross.
Probably the thing to do to untangle this is to make
add_preferred_console() not be __init. I just tested and that seems
to make everything happy. Again, below is the first thing I
tried just for reference.
