Why do we want this? It increases the size of the code and changes
a static function to a non-static one that now requires ifdefery
to handle the !CONFIG_CRUNCH case. I don't see the value in this
patch?
Ryan,

See Shawn's "[PATCH 00/17] arch/arm/mach-* late_initcall cleanup".

I haven't looked closely at this yet. I think there may be some platforms
where the late_initcall's might cause a problem when making an ARM
unified kernel.

Hmm, I see. It's a bit annoying that it makes the code less clean, but I
can't really see any other nice way of doing it :-/.
