But there's really no point to this.  HOTPLUG is always defined on SCSI
systems that have these drivers, which means that _devinit/exit are
nops.  That makes the change purely cosmetic and not worth churning two
dozen drivers for.

Even for the EMBEDDED cases that should care about this, the maintainer=
s
have indicated that the memory savings simply aren't worth the hassle o=
f
tracking the sectional updates.
