The problem seems to be because gx1fb_probe is annotated __init. In the
PCI case you want it to be __devinit, and you're also going to want to
annotate the remove function as __devexit and wrap it up with a
__devexit_p().

Fix a chain of section mismatches in geode driver, beginning with:
WARNING: drivers/video/geode/gx1fb.o(.data+0x70): Section mismatch in reference from the variable gx1fb_driver to the function .init.text:gx1fb_probe()
The variable gx1fb_driver references
the function __init gx1fb_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console
Making the changes that Paul pointed out resulted in a few more
changes being needed, so they are all included here.

Hi Randy,
thanks for taking care of this old issue!
It's around a week I did not compile a linux-next kernel.
I should again enable full section mismatch in my setup.
