        o Do not mark the struct pci_driver.
 
-       o The ID table array should be marked __devinitconst; this is done
-         automatically if the table is declared with DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE().
-
-       o The probe() and remove() functions should be marked __devinit
-         and __devexit respectively.  All initialization functions
-         exclusively called by the probe() routine, can be marked __devinit.
-         Ditto for remove() and __devexit.
-
-       o If mydriver_remove() is marked with __devexit(), then all address
-         references to mydriver_remove must use __devexit_p(mydriver_remove)
-         (in the struct pci_driver declaration for example).
-         __devexit_p() will generate the function name _or_ NULL if the
-         function will be discarded.  For an example, see drivers/net/tg3.c.
-
        o Do NOT mark a function if you are not sure which mark to use.
          Better to not mark the function than mark the function wrong.
