So this is just to cut down on probe deferrals?  Sorry but as you'll see
from the discussion in that thread I'm really not enthusiastic about
taking such patches.  Trying to use initcall ordering is a hack we're
moving towards removing, isn't very robust and makes it harder to
convince people that it's worth doing anything to really improve things.

But why?  This sort of random unexplained level picking is part of the
problem...
