Subject: [PATCH] PCI: Global variable decls must match the defs in section
	attributes

Global variable declarations must match the definitions in section attributes
as the compiler is at liberty to vary the method it uses to access a variable,
depending on the section it is in.

When building the FRV arch, I now see:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `pci_apply_final_quirks':
drivers/pci/quirks.c:2606: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `pci_dfl_cache_line_size' defined in .devinit.data section in drivers/built-in.o
drivers/pci/quirks.c:2623: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `pci_dfl_cache_line_size' defined in .devinit.data section in drivers/built-in.o
drivers/pci/quirks.c:2630: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `pci_dfl_cache_line_size' defined in .devinit.data section in drivers/built-in.o

because the declaration of pci_dfl_cache_line_size in linux/pci.h does not
match the definition in drivers/pci/pci.c.
