Various fb drivers register themselves before module_init so as to have a

Fbcon cannot initialize earlier then fs_initcall, because then the creation
of /sys/class/graphics/fbcon will fail.
Not related to this series, but makes me wonder how difficult it would
be to get fbcon and simplefb initialize at even earlier stage. Well,
something for the future.
