I don't completely understand this problem.  Does this mean there should be
no __init/__exit annotations in these drivers at all?  If other PCI host
bridge drivers have the same problem, I'd like to fix them all at once.

For example, after applying this patch, ks_pcie_probe() is non-__init, but
it calls ks_add_pcie_port(), which is still __init.  I thought that was
illegal.

I'm not sure about module_platform_driver_probe() either; it generates
__init and __exit functions.  Should those annotations be removed, too?
