Subject: [GIT PULL] Delete new __cpuinit users and then delete stubs

We removed the __cpuinit stuff in 3.11-rc1 with commit 
22f0a27367742f65130c0fb25ef00f7297e032c1 ("init.h: remove __cpuinit
sections from the kernel") but we left some no-op stubs as
a courtesy to unmerged code.

Here we get rid of the stubs as well, since (as can be seen in these
changes) they are enabling use cases to sneak back in, primarily from
older BSP code that has been living out of tree for some time prior
to getting mainlined.  So we get rid of these "new" users 1st and
then get rid of the stubs.

Obviously, getting rid of the stubs can't happen until all the users
are gone, so I had to keep this together as a series, even though some
of these commits since got picked up into maintainers trees as well.

The nature of this change is such that it should have zero impact on
the generated runtime.

This is one of several independent cleanup branches aimed at
enabling better organization in the init.h and module.h code.  They
have been getting coverage in the linux-next tree for the last month,
in addition to my local testing, which also covers approximately a
half dozen or more architectures.
