modpost had two cases hardcoded for mm/
Shift over to __init_refok and kill the
hardcoded function names in modpost.
This has the drawback that the functions
will always be kept no matter configuration.
With previous code the function were placed in
init section if configuration allowed it.

Throughout the kernel there are a few legitimite references
to init or exit sections. Most of these are covered by the
patterns included in modpost but a few nees special attention.
To avoid hardcoding a lot of function names in modpost introduce
a marker so relevant function/data can be marked.
When modpost see a reference to a init/exit function from
a function/data marked no warning will be issued.

On i386, ARM and MIPS, warn_sec_mismatch() sometimes fails to show
usefull symbol name. This is because empty 'refsym' due to 0 r_addend
value. This patch is to adjust r_addend value, consulting with
apply_relocate() routine in kernel code.
Without this patch:
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: init/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'rest_init' (at offset 0xf4) and 'try_name'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text: from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'
With this patch:
MODPOST vmlinux
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a39) and 'cache_reap'
WARNING: mm/built-in.o - Section mismatch: reference to .init.text:set_up_list3s from .text between 'kmem_cache_create' (at offset 0x18a6b) and 'cache_reap'
Now modpost can detect "kernel_init" name (and whitelist it) and show
"set_up_list3s" name.

Change modpost section mismatch warnings to be less confusing;
model them on the binutils linker warnings which we all know how
to interpret.
Also, fix the wrong ordering of arguments for the final case -
fromsec and refsymname were reversed.

The check-lxdialog.sh script searches for "libFOO.so" which fails on OS X, due

Since the devices may have multiple (or none) compatible properties,
the uevent generated internally by the kernel may have multiple
"C..." entries. So the MODALIAS stored in the module must have
wilcard before and after the compatible entry.
Also, if the 'compatible' field is not used for matching, there
will be no 'C' and that must handled as well.
The previous code handled all those case incorrectly and it
"mostly" worked ... but not always.

Fix an Oops in the cciss driver caused by system shutdown while a filesystem
on a cciss device is still active. The cciss_remove_one function only
properly removes the device if the device has been cleanly released by its
users, which is not the case when the pci_driver.shutdown method is called.
This patch adds a new cciss_shutdown function to better match the pattern
used by various SCSI drivers: deactivate device interrupts and flush caches.
It also alters the cciss_remove_one function to match and readds the
__devexit annotation that was removed when cciss_remove_one was serving as
the pci_driver.shutdown method.

As pointed out by Jarek Poplawski, the patch
[WORKQUEUE]: cancel_delayed_work: use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync()
commit: 071b638689
was wrong, it was merged by mistake after that.
From the changelog:
after this patch:
...
delayed_work_timer_fn->__queue_work() in progress.
The latter doesn't differ from the caller's POV,
it does make a difference if the caller calls flush_workqueue() after
cancel_delayed_work(), in that case flush_workqueue() can miss this
work_struct.
