Doesn't look serious.  init_module() is not __init, but it calls
some __init functions and touches some __initdata.

BTW, I would be happy to see some consistent results from modpost
section checking.  I don't see all of these warnings (I see only 1)
when using gcc 3.3.6.  What gcc version are you using?
Does that matter?  (not directed at anyone in particular)

Patch below fixes it for me.  Please test/report.

If a PCI bus error/fault triggers a PCI bus reset, attempts to get the
ethernet packet count statistics from the hardware will fail, returning
garbage data upstream.  This patch skips statistics data collection if the
PCI device is not on the bus.

This patch presumes that an earlier patch,
[PATCH] PCI Error Recovery: e1000 network device driver
has already been applied.

The following patch updates the myri10ge to 1.0.0, with the following changes:
* Switch to dma_alloc_coherent API.
* Avoid PCI burst when writing the firmware on chipset with unaligned completions.
* Use ethtool_op_set_tx_hw_csum instead of ethtool_op_set_tx_csum.
* Include linux/dma-mapping.h to bring DMA_32/64BIT_MASK on all architectures
  (was missing at least on alpha).
* Some typo and warning fixes.
