Hi David,

Is there a reason why there's these MODULE_* macros at the bottom of
this file?  From what I can see:

(a) this file can't be built as a module as the Makefile doesn't allow it:
    obj-y := cpu.o setup.o octeon-platform.o octeon-irq.o csrc-octeon.o

(b) this file will not be functional as a module anyway, because of the
    multiple *_initcall() statements, each of which are translated to
    a module_init() call, each of which define an alias to
    int init_module(void) - and that will cause a build error.

Can we just kill these, rather than adding a linux/module.h include to
this file?

Thanks.
