H A D | bootflag.c | diff 1206f53589237b7e00b9b0a4e42815f14aedad2d Sat May 02 02:08:21 CEST 2015 Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> x86: don't use module_init for non-modular core bootflag code
The bootflag.o is obj-y (always built in). It will never be modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is somewhat misleading.
Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of arch_initcall (which makes sense for arch code) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 3-arch (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that small difference has been observed during testing, or is expected.
