Sk98lin driver has a routine marked __init that is called from
the probe code. If using pci hotplug, this could be called after
the initialization so it needs to be marked __devinit. 
So if you hot added a sk98lin board, the kernel would crash.
I don't have hot plug hardware to actually try this feat.

Also, there are two routines, only called from SkGeBoardInit that can
be marked __devinit.
