Ah indeed.  You'd need to arrange for the arch code to call the init()
directly (possibly arch_initcall() as before or maybe directly from
arm64_rsi_init), which makes it tricky to do in a module as there
is nothing to kick off module autoloading. You could kick that off
explicitly but that's a bit ugly.
