Subject: fix for crash in adummy_init()
From: Daniel Walker <dwalker@xxxxxxxxxx>
This was reported by Ingo Molnar here,
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/18/119
The problem is that adummy_init() depends on atm_init() , but adummy_init()
is called first.
So I put atm_init() into subsys_initcall which seems appropriate, and it
will still get module_init() if it becomes a module.
Interesting to note that you could crash your system here if you just load
the modules in the wrong order.
