Better interface for hooking early initcalls
Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls() could be converted to use this cleaner interface. This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.
