The srm console is always built in.  It will never be modular,

misleading.

Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
would be a worse thing.

Direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs prioritized ones.
Use of device_initcall is consistent with what __initcall
maps onto, and hence does not change the init order, making the
impact of this change zero.   Should someone with real hardware
for boot testing want to change it later to arch_initcall or
console_initcall, they can do that at a later date.

I included this in my pull request to Linus that went upstream
yesterday. Thanks!

OK, thanks - I'll drop it from here if/when I rebase onto the
4.1-rc6 pending on Sunday.  If I drop it now I'll risk introducing
a bisect failure for alpha, since my current baseline of 4.1-rc5
doesn't have this now-upstream change from the old original series.

Paul.
