[PATCH 1/4] fbdev: fix section mismatches in q40fb.c

[Henrik Kretzschmar]

This patch moves the q40_fix and q40_var structures from .init.data
to .devinit.data.
This is where now the probe function resides, which only uses them.

This patch is against Linus tree and is not compile tested.
It would be nice if someone with a m68k toolchain could test this
and tell if it works like expected.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
