I'm not surprised from our experience either.
Actually marking all the devices __devinit may be overkill. One approach
that does also seem to work is passing "hotplug yes/no" information when
registering the driver. This is then used to run the ide scan at boot
and avoid registering that driver with the PCI core for hotplug.
A move to __devinit is certainly simpler.
