Subject: libata: convert from module_init to subsys_initcall (resend)
From: Brian King <brking@xxxxxxxxxx>
When building a monolithic kernel, the load order of drivers does not work
for SAS libata users, resulting in a kernel oops. Convert libata to use
subsys_initcall instead of module_init, which ensures that libata gets
loaded before any LLDD. This is the same thing that scsi core does to
solve the problem. The load order problem was observed on ipr SAS adapters
and should exist for other SAS users as well.
