The remove function of a device driver should not be marked
__exit, because that section gets discarded for built-in drivers,
and it is still possible to manually unbind a driver from a
device, which would result in a runtime error.
The kernel also produces a link error for this when the module
is built-in:
`ramoops_remove' referenced in section `.data' of fs/built-in.o: defined in
discarded section `.exit.text' of fs/built-in.o
