Thanks Dave!

I just verified that from System.map. Between __early_initcall_end and __initcall_end, there is list of init calls with levels from 0-7. What is significance of these levels.

Thanks,
Rahul

module_init is mapped to __initcall, which is in turn mapped to device_initcall, which sets up a pointer in a section called .initcall6.init

and it defines the __initcall_start and __initcall_end symbols.
