(resuming)

is module initialization serialized ?
ie various resource use race conditions precluded ?
or is it something to watch carefully for ?

and (not quite the same question)

assuming C depends on B depends on A, and user modprobes C.

does C start loading, to discover it needs B, then A,
or is that sorted out before any loading starts, and its done strictly A,B, C ?

ie is the recursive made iterative ?
