When all of usb is a module, there are no initcalls.

If you need static initialization for in-kernel init, here is the
shortest solution I can come up with:

/********************* usb.c **********************/

int usbcore_init() {...}

#ifdef MODULE
module_init(usbcore_init);
#endif
module_exit(usbcore_exit);

/******************** main.c ******************/

extern int usbcore_init (void);
	/* ... */
#ifdef CONFIG_USB
	usbcore_init();
#endif
