Hi Pekka,

        Hey, thanks, I didn't realize that do_initcalls() now takes some note
when an initcall fails.  But I'm pretty sure a local error message is
more informative than "initcall at 0xc0123408: returned with error code
2" etc.

        And I agree about the panic: bus_register and device_register should
panic for us if they fail this early in boot.  But I don't think they
do...

Thanks,
Rusty.
