Please include the actual warnings that you fix.

As replacement for the above I would prefer som kind of annotation
so we can drop the symbol at linker time.
Something like:

>+  static struct pci_device_id applicom_pci_tbl[] __moduseddata = {
>       { PCI_VENDOR_ID_APPLICOM, PCI_DEVICE_ID_APPLICOM_PCIGENERIC,
>         PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },

>         PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },
>       { 0 }
>  };

where we have:
#ifdef MODULE
#define __moduseddata  __section(.module.data)
#define __modusedconst __section(.module.rodata)
#define __modused      __section(.module.text)
#else
#define __moduseddata  __section(.discard.data)
#define __modusedconst __section(.discard.rodata)
#define __modused      __section(.discard.text)
#endif

And we can then discard the symbols as we do for
__initdata today.


Another much simpler solution could be to say:

>static struct pci_device_id applicom_pci_tbl[] __used = {
>       { PCI_VENDOR_ID_APPLICOM, PCI_DEVICE_ID_APPLICOM_PCIGENERIC,
>         PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },

>         PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, 0 },

>  };

But we would then in the built-in case waste some memory.

This function is properly annotated and __devexit_p() is used
so it should not generate a warning.

The root casue is that __devexit is defined to nothing in the
#ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG case - it should have been defined as
#define __devexit __used
if MODULE was not defined.

This is the better fix for these kind of warnings.
For the latter I have fixed this in kbuild.git.
So we are only left with the DEVICE_MOD_TABLE issue.
