mptscsih.c: discarded in section `.exit.text' from drivers/built-in.o

[Alex Williamson]

   The MPT Fusion driver seems to have developed a linker problem on
ia64.  The latest linux-2.5 bk tree gives me the following:

  LD      .tmp_vmlinux1
local symbol 0: discarded in section `.exit.text' from drivers/built-in.o
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1

Running the reference discard checking tool:

$ ~/reference_discarded.pl 
Finding objects, 858 objects, ignoring 0 module(s)
Finding conglomerates, ignoring 81 conglomerate(s)
Scanning objects
Error: ./drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.o .init.text refers to 00000000000001e2 PCREL21B          .exit.text
Done

And, sure enough, if I remove the __exits from mptscsih_exit() I get a
linkable kernel.  Looks like the __exits ought to be removed.  Thanks,

	Alex
