commit 1fab0d6a932d000780cd232b7d10ebfbe69f477c
Author: Tim Bird <tim.bird@am.sony.com>
Date:   Fri Sep 12 11:31:52 2008 -0700

    Add deferred_module_init
    This allows statically linked modules to be initialized sometime after
    the initial bootstrap.  To do this, change the module_init() macro
    to deferred_module_init(), for those init routines you want to defer.
