Pull module_init replacement part one from Paul Gortmaker:
 "Replace module_init with equivalent device_initcall in non modules.

  This series of commits converts non-modular code that is using the
  module_init() call to hook itself into the system to instead use
  device_initcall().

  The conversion is a runtime no-op, since module_init actually becomes
  __initcall in the non-modular case, and that in turn gets mapped onto
  device_initcall.  A couple files show a larger negative diffstat,
  representing ones that had a module_exit function that we remove here
  vs previously relying on the linker to dispose of it.

  We make this conversion now, so that we can relocate module_init from
  init.h into module.h in the future.

  The files changed here are just limited to those that would otherwise
  have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, in order to avoid
  a compile fail, as testing has shown"
