How do I mark a initialized struct __init? Adding __init or const __init in
front of the declaration results in

  CC      arch/ppc/platforms/prep_pci.o
arch/ppc/platforms/prep_pci.c:806: error: mot_info causes a section type conflict

Data that is not accessed after initcalls are done (and hence can be
safely freed after kernel boot) must be marked __initdata.
