Message:

Additions/linux/vboxguest: drop devinitdata attribute.
bugref:4567: Linux kernel driver maintenance
On old kernels we were putting our PCI device ID structure in a different
ELF section which could potentially have been evicted before we referenced
it. This caused compiler warnings and never made much sense (new kernels did
away with it altogether), so this change drops it.
