    Marin Mitov <mitov@issp.bas.bg> spotted a brainfart where I had
    failed to update copied text with *_remove and __devexit().
    
    Marin made a good comment in his email to me:
    | mydriver_probe() is _always_ executed, while mydriver_remove() is not.
    | See: include/linux/init.h
    
    Which says:
    /* Functions marked as __devexit may be discarded at kernel link time, depending
       on config options.  Newer versions of binutils detect references from
       retained sections to discarded sections and flag an error.  Pointers to
       __devexit functions must use __devexit_p(function_name), the wrapper will
       insert either the function_name or NULL, depending on the config options.
