Because that doesn't actually solve anything over simple direct calls
as you still need the symbols to be global?

As an example here is a very hacky patch that just compiles with unused
variable warnings and doesn't work at all to show how the distributed
module_subinit would improve ext4, the file system with the least
subinit calls of the three converted in the series, and without any
extra cleanups like removing now unneded includes or moving more stuff
into subinits if they can remain entirely static that way:
