longer term I would like to work on two things
1) Fix the __init thing by just only freeing when appropriate, but not having to wait for it
2) Find a way for userland to trigger a sync
- for all storage probing
- for just async work
- "global sync", which includes all driver init
We can then have insmod/modprobe use this always, unless a flag is set
(so say, udev, can load a slew of modules, and then sync only on the last one)

and then after a year or two we can maybe remove the sync from the module loader ;(
