Sigh.  Please put some thought into it first and stop applying patches
without first doing some analysis and test-buliding the thing.  Otherwise
you're going to be applying patches for ever which add and delete
these things.

If you make pm_dbg_init() __init, then you also have to make
pm_dbg_regset_init() __init too.  What about the callers to
pm_dbg_regset_init() - are these marked __init or not?  If not,
they too will have to be marked __init, etc.

If that's not possible, then the __init attribute must be deleted
from pwrdms_setup().
