[PATCH] discarded section problem

What should be happening with the references to the discarded .text.exit
section?  I see a __devexit_p mentioned in Documentation/pci.txt, but it
hasn't been implemented except for down inside ieee1394.

In any case, I need something like the following in order to build with
pre-release binutils 2.12.  If this sort of thing is acceptible I can
prepare a more comprehensive patch.
