First of all I am not arguing in favor of taking it in the current
form. But as Graeme mentioned if the new initcall framework makes it
clean and maintainable I am hoping that you will consider it more
favorably. And this is indeed a new argument because the biggest
objection previously was that the no-relocation case will be difficult
to maintain.

As for ignoring comments, I think you are culpable of that more than me
in this specific instance:) (of course I know you are busy person, but
still..). For instance, my arguments in the previous round [1] never
got an answer from you.
