Make init_amd_nbs() arch_initcall_sync() so that it executes after PCI init.

By the time subsys_initcalls come, they'll have all the facilities they need,
prepared for them...

Along with big fat comment why.

Btw, note to myself as I keep wondering about it each time: the sync calls come
after the regular ones, in link order if you look at preprocessed linker script
arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds:

__initcall_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcallearly.init)) __initcall0_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall0.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall0s.init)) __initcall1_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall1.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall1s.init)) __initcall2_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall2.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall2s.init)) __initcall3_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall3.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall3s.init)) __initcall4_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall4.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall4s.init)) __initcall5_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall5.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall5s.init)) __initcallrootfs_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcallrootfs.init)) KEEP(*(.initcallrootfss.init)) __initcall6_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall6.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall6s.init)) __initcall7_start = .;
 KEEP(*(.initcall7.init)) KEEP(*(.initcall7s.init)) __initcall_end = .;

Mario, is that something that would work for what you wanna do too?

Thx.
