Hmm, there is the same problem in cx18 as well:
static int __init cx18_alsa_load(struct cx18 *cx)
Checking some more I saw that this __init annotation was added only in 3.8,
both for ivtv and cx18 (so 3.7 is fine).
Ah, I see that Mauro added __init accidentally when fixing some compiler
warnings in ivtv and cx18.
I'll make a pull request tomorrow morning removing the __init from
ivtv_alsa_load
and cx18_alsa_load and ask Mauro to fast-track this regression.
I assume I have your SoB for this?

Hans
