This patch moves two functions from .devexit to .text,
which are called on the probe error path.
Also a function which is called by probe is moved
from .text to .devinit.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.devinit.text+0x2ca5): Section mismatch in reference
from the function via_pci_probe() to the function
.devexit.text:via_teardown_subdevs()
The function __devinit via_pci_probe() references
a function __devexit via_teardown_subdevs().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of
via_teardown_subdevs() so it may be used outside an exit section.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.devinit.text+0x2cb1): Section mismatch in reference
from the function via_pci_probe() to the function
.devexit.text:via_pci_teardown_mmio()
The function __devinit via_pci_probe() references
a function __devexit via_pci_teardown_mmio().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of
via_pci_teardown_mmio() so it may be used outside an exit section.
