__devinit is used to say that this funtion is used for hotplug so place this
in section .init.text only if !HOTPLUG.

So with __devinit/__devexit we would see exactly the same in the !HOTPLUG
case but only make it harder to trigger since the normal build has
HOTPLUG enabled.

New version of modpost will btw. catch these kind of errors so also in the
x86 case we will be notified - but then only as a warning not as an error.
