Hi,

I've redone this patch. I've tested it and works okay for me.
It is as minimal as possible and I hope it can go in 2.5 soon.

As already pointed by you for 2.7 we should have more flexible choice
of when to do boot parameters parsing: parameters tied with architecture,
with different subsystems, with different level of initcalls etc..

Note that patch breaks ide parameters, second one fixes this.

Testing & comments appreciated, patch below.

# Move parsing of new-style boot parameters (module_parm() and co.)
# before initcalls. Old-style boot parameters (using __setup())
# are still parsed early, so everything should work normally
# (except ide for which lack of parameters' uniqueness must be fixed).
#
# This change fe. removes requirement of keeping static data for storing
# parameters by drivers (ide, md etc.) because now they can use kmalloc().
#
# Thanks goes to Rusty for the idea and help.
