As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, and __devexit from these drivers.

For architectures without NMI (such as ARM), this does not need to be performed early and can be deferred to the driver probe callback. This also allows us to probe the devicetree in preference to parsing the current cpuid, which may be invalid on a big.LITTLE multi-cluster system.

Unfortunately, this does not scale well in the presence of multiple PMUs and creates a single, global namespace across all PMUs in the system. This patch removes the enumeration and instead uses the name string for the PMU to map onto the OProfile variant. perf_pmu_name is implemented for CPU PMUs, which is all that OProfile cares about anyway.
