* Janusz Krzysztofik [off-list ref] [111211 11:41]:
This will allow boards with custom memory mapped GPIO ports to set up
and use those port pins while initializing devices from arch init.
Care to explain a bit more why you need to initialize those devices
early on?

Usually moving things earlier and earlier is an endless loop 
adding more and more nasty dependencies..

I'd rather see things getting initialized later as regular
device drivers so we have decent kernel error messages when
something goes wrong without having to enable debug_ll.

Regards,

Tony
