don't need to think linking order.
could reorder them in the run time.

struct init_call_st {
        int level;
        char *name;
        initcall_t call;
};

#define INIT_CALL(nameX, levelX, callX) \
                static struct init_call_st __init_call_##nameX __initdata = \
                {       .name = nameX,\
                        .level = levelX,\
                        .call = callX,\
                }; \
                static struct init_call_st *__init_call_ptr_##nameX __used \
                __attribute__((__section__(".init_call.init"))) = \
                        &__init_call_##nameX

in vmlinux.lds.h
#define INIT_CALL_INIT(align)
         \
        . = ALIGN((align));                                             \
        .init_call.init : AT(ADDR(.init_call.init) - LOAD_OFFSET) {     \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__init_call_start) = .;                  \
                *(.init_call.init)                                      \
                VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__init_call_end) = .;                    \
        }

let arch vmlinux.lds.S to have
INIT_CALL_INIT(8)

and init/main.c

void __init do_init_calls(void)
{
        struct init_call_st **daa;
        char *ptr;

        /* sort it?, prescan... */
        for (daa = __init_call_start ; daa < __init_call_end; daa++) {
                struct init_call_st *da = *daa;

...
        }

        for (daa = __init_call_start ; daa < __init_call_end; daa++) {
                struct dyn_array *da = *daa;
                ...
                da->call();
}
