I am trying to get omap3-isp.ko to be loaded upon bootup.  The problem
is that iommu2.ko needs to be loaded first, which can't just be compiled
into the kernel.  Udev will see '/sys/devices/platform/omap3isp' and
load omap3-isp.ko, which fails because iommu2.ko hasn't been loaded yet.
 iommu2 doesn't have a counterpart in /sys/devices/, so I don't know how
to get udev to load it first.

I can think of a few ways to accomplish this, but they all amount to
hacking the init sequence (e.g. the udev init script).  I'm looking for
a better way.

How are others doing this?
