Arjan also needed a pre device_initcall() level for PCI core init now
that the async device initcalls weren't governed just by link order
anymore. He reused the device_initcall_sync() level, moving it to before
device_initcall() itself (it used to be just behind).
Your above notion sounds like another good reason for inserting a real
new level just before device_initcall(); if you move any of the device
init to late initcall(), late_initcall() loses too much of its utility
I'd feel (see start of this thread with various late_initcalls wanting
to assume stuff).
