OK yeah that makes sense. How about let's just make it
just postcore_initcall instead of postcore_initcall_sync?

In include/linux/module.h we have:

...
#else /* MODULE */

/* Don't use these in loadable modules, but some people do... */
#define early_initcall(fn)              module_init(fn)
#define core_initcall(fn)               module_init(fn)
#define postcore_initcall(fn)           module_init(fn)
...

While the postcore_initcall_sync does not have those.

No idea what the current plan is, but I sort of remember reading
that the _sync versions are going away at some point anyways?

Regards,

Tony
