    x86: don't use module_init for non-modular core bootflag code · 1206f535
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    The bootflag.o is obj-y (always built in).  It will never be
    modular, so using module_init as an alias for __initcall is
    somewhat misleading.
    
    Fix this up now, so that we can relocate module_init from
    init.h into module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd
    have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that
    would be a worse thing.
    
    Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one
    of the priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets
    mapped onto device_initcall, our use of arch_initcall (which
    makes sense for arch code) will thus change this registration
    from level 6-device to level 3-arch (i.e. slightly earlier).
    However no observable impact of that small difference has
    been observed during testing, or is expected.
