OK, look, this is really getting out of hand.

__init is possibly justifiable with a few hundred k savings on boot.
__devinit and the rest are surely killable on the grounds they provide
little benefit for all the pain they cause.

all __exit seems to do is set us up for unreferenced pointers in
discarded sections, so could we kill that too?
