Is it time for something better?
True dependencies, an addition to or as replacement for module_init()?
random example: hfs/super.c:
depends_on_initialized(init_hfs_fs: init_hfsplus_fs,kmem_cache_thingie,core_filesystem_thingie,foo,bar,worldpeace);
If init_hfsplus_fs() does not exist it should be no error.
Whatever the sytax will be and however its parsed during build, that link order
requirement bites every other month.
