I get confused by many warning while compile 2.3.51. gcc warn: init and
exit functions aren't used in many modules. Is the probleme only the
static word or something more important explain the current state ?

In fact, when writing a module driver, what is correct ?

static int __init foobar_init(void) {}
module_init(foobar_init);

or

int __init foobar_init(void) {}
module_init(foobar_init);

I can find example of both on 2.3.51.
