I do think that sounds sane. The tty layer is kind of special.

I wouldn't call it _after_ chrdev_init(), though, I'd call it _from_
chrdev_init(). Doesn't that make more sense (and keep it out of
fs/dcache.c, which is an odd place to have some tty init).

But maybe there's some reason why it's an initcall. Unlikely.
