Oops. :/

Uh somehow both sounds fine to me so I'll just change it in v2. :)

SMEM is arch_initcall() so at least for the SMD case it can never
succeed probing in core_initcall() and would likely just cause
unnecessary probe deferrals. That's why I chose arch_initcall().

Are you sure anything will really benefit from core_initcall() here?

I'd just like to avoid making things worse by using a random way too
early initcall level. We have some really weird examples in the tree
currently, e.g.:
  - rpmpd: core_initcall()
  - smd-rpm: arch_initcall()
  - glink-rpm: subsys_initcall()
But they actually need to be loaded in opposite order...

Thanks,
Stephan
