PS:
There is only a single user of this symbol in the mainline at the
moment, arch/x86/kernel/apic/x2apic_uv_x.c, controlled by
arch/x86/Kconfig:config X86_UV, which allows only static linking.
I.e. the warning is a false positive for now.  But given how small
pci_register_set_vga_state() is, it appears appropriate to drop the
__init annotation.
