The __devexit_p changes are required in addition to .text.lock ->
.subsection, they are fixing different parts of the same problem. Most
of the devexit_p changes were in my patch against 2.4.17-pre6, all of
those changes are needed. The only devexit changes from 2.4.17-pre6 to
2.4.17 are :-

drivers/char/synclink.c

Spurious, there is no point in specifying __init, __exit etc. on the
declaration, those attributes only affect the function body. The
change has no effect. Anybody want to go through and remove spurious
__init, __exit etc. on forward function declarations?

drivers/pcmcia/i82092.c

Mine, valid AFAICT.

drivers/isdn/hisax/hisax_fcpcipnp.c

Don't know who changed it but it is valid. hisax_fcpcipnp was added
after my first patch against 2.4.16 and I missed the new driver when
I redid the devexit_p patch for 2.4.17.

I would add all the devexit_p changes through 2.4.17 at least, in
addition to the .text.lock changes.
