Arg how did I miss that?  Maybe the last build I did was missing
hotplug support or something... Anyway looking now (at first glance I
think pci_rescan_bus needs to drop __devinit).

Yeah, this tree generally sees a good amount of testing, especially
from the hotplug folks.  And yeah, I'd never rebase and then do a pull
request; I like to let things sit in linux-next for at least a day to
flush out any build errors and give a chance for people to test any
merge conflicts I resolved.
