Yeah, I was just keeping the existing format here.

But actually, I strongly prefer it compared to this:

/* Format: <modname>__<counter>_<line>_<fn> */
#define __initcall_id(fn)						\
	__PASTE(kmod_,							\
		__PASTE(__KBUILD_MODNAME,				\
			__PASTE(__,					\
				__PASTE(__COUNTER__,			\
					__PASTE(_,			\
						__PASTE(__LINE__,	\
							__PASTE(_, fn)))))))

That gives headaches.  Sure, the vertically aligned version is a bit
unorthodox but it *much* easier to read if you know how to read it: just
scan down.

And the "Format:" comment at the top clarifies the result.
