[PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier
Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone explain?
