In the previous merge window, we made changes to allow better delineation between modular and non-modular code in commit 0fd972a7d91d6e15393c449492a04d94c0b89351 ("module: relocate module_init from init.h to module.h"). This allows us to now ensure module code looks modular and non-modular code does not accidentally look modular without suffering build breakage from header entanglement.
Here we target x86 code that is, by nature of the Kconfig/Makefile, only available to be built-in, but implicitly presenting itself as being possibly modular by way of using modular headers and macros. The goal here is to remove that illusion of modularity from these files, but in a way that leaves the actual runtime unchanged. We also get the side benefit of a reduced CPP overhead, since the removal of module.h from a file can reduce the number of lines emitted by 20k. Two of the three are the trivial mapping of module_init onto the equivalent device_initcall ; the pmc_atom change is that too, but also includes the removal of a no-op MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE and a corrected comment relating to that, hence the larger diffstat there.
