These actually move functions from normal text to __devinit, not from
__init to __devinit.

That should be safe for most quirks (although enable, suspend, resume,
and resume_early quirks can be called after we free initmem, even if
we have CONFIG_HOTPLUG=n), but given the discussion about whether we
should even bother with __devinit any more, I think I'll hold off on
these for now.  If we were to get rid of __devinit, these would all
have to revert to being normal text.
