Well, I was thinking more along the lines of leaving the capability to
remove the __dev* marked functions from the link, as is today,
independent of the other stuff CONFIG_HOTPLUG controls. But reviewing
your comments from the archive makes me think a motivation is misuse
of the __dev* markings..

Thanks for the insight,
