I didn't see any message in this thread cc'd to me, but that's not to
say I hadn't already read this patch.  I don't have any comment against
it, but I do wonder how often this hook would be used.

We do seem to have quite a number of late_initcall()s in arch/arm/mach-*,
so it seems to be a good idea - provided someone's willing to convert all
those users of late_initcall()s.
