I just resubmitted this patch a few minutes ago.

I definitely want an ACK on this from Jeff - I'll take a few broken ppc64 machines any day over the worry that there might be problems elsewhere.

Jeff? Ack, Nack, or "I'll push it to you through my git tree", please..

Reluctant ACK. But this whole subsys_init() mess is highly fragile, and this is going to change again once a new dependency arises :/
