OK, I can fix this in the ordering of "obj-y += ..."
declarations in linux/Makefile. (If you really need i2o
initialization to occur earlier than do_initcalls(), then that would
also mean that i2o cannot be a module, right?)

Oops! Sorry, I accidentally included part of another
change I was fiddling with.

It changes the dependency pattern to the one that is already
used when i2o is a module, not to a new dependency pattern.
If you want, I can send you a new patch that changes
linux/Makefile to initialize i2o before just before drivers/block,
thereby reproducing the current initialization order, and, of course,
I'll also remove the CONFIG_NET patch that I accidentally put in
before. Please let me know.
In any case thanks for looking at my patch and providing the
feedback.
