27f931dac9 [PATCH] s1d13xxxfb linkage fix
s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked
__devinit().  So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit.

Does this all make sense?  Clearly the __devexit section will still be in
core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module.

But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section
might be dropped early in boot.  Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to
initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run
anyway.

verdict: this code was legal and made sense.  Is this a generic problem, or an
arm-specific problem?

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
