The PCI_DEVICE_TABLE patch I sent earlier doesn't necessarily make
much sense by itself... here is a set of patches that apply
this macro, in turn moving a lot of this data into __devinitconst
which is discardable in certain situations.
Hopefully the benefit of this approach is a bit clearer now.

Sorry...
Can you please confirm that this does not break powerpc (64 bit)
as they have troubles with the constification..
I do not have access to any PowerPC machine... Olof Johansson built the
tree I posted earlier on PowerPC; there's nothing really new here except
the wrapping of the definition in a macro.
And you added const and a specific section.
No... once the macro is expanded the code is exactly the same as that
which built cleanly on powerpc previously (which Olof, built, I mean)...
nothing new here.
Exactly what could break on PowerPC.
To do the build break check is easy.
Google for "crosstool" and build your own powerpc toolchain.
Thanks... I'll throw together a cross compiler and see what I can do.

Andrew has something precompiled somewhere but I lost the link.
