Does ARM try to run _any_ threads before do_initcalls()?  IPC
initialization is initcall, so any thread before do_initcalls() is a
dependency bug.

static void __init do_basic_setup(void)
{
	cpuset_init_smp();
	usermodehelper_init();
	init_tmpfs();
	driver_init();
	init_irq_proc();
	do_ctors();
	do_initcalls(); <<<<
}

Thanks,
