Section mismatches pcmcia_core and pcmcia

[James Ronald]

When building the kernel with pcmcia modules selected the section
mismatch warnings below are displayed.   Per Sam Ravnborg the
variables of type class_interface contains references to __devinit and
__devexit functions which is OK.  Sam also submitted upstream the
patches included below that silence said warnings by annotating the
variables with __refdata.  I have not seen any mention of such on this
list so I though that I would mention it.  I have applied these
patches and they do silence the section mismatches as advertised
assuming that just silencing them is indeed the correct action.
