There's no particular reason why this needs to go in 2.6.26, is there?
It looks to me like something that I should queue up for 2.6.27.

Paul.

No, this make no difference in code generation - it's just a
use-the-modern-interface thing.

I missed the memo about __initcall being deprecated, or is it only
deprecated for use in device drivers?

It's just old-fashioned, that's all.

#define pure_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("0",fn,0)

#define core_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("1",fn,1)
#define core_initcall_sync(fn)		__define_initcall("1s",fn,1s)
#define postcore_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("2",fn,2)
#define postcore_initcall_sync(fn)	__define_initcall("2s",fn,2s)
#define arch_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("3",fn,3)
#define arch_initcall_sync(fn)		__define_initcall("3s",fn,3s)
#define subsys_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("4",fn,4)
#define subsys_initcall_sync(fn)	__define_initcall("4s",fn,4s)
#define fs_initcall(fn)			__define_initcall("5",fn,5)
#define fs_initcall_sync(fn)		__define_initcall("5s",fn,5s)
#define rootfs_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("rootfs",fn,rootfs)
#define device_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("6",fn,6)
#define device_initcall_sync(fn)	__define_initcall("6s",fn,6s)
#define late_initcall(fn)		__define_initcall("7",fn,7)
#define late_initcall_sync(fn)		__define_initcall("7s",fn,7s)

#define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)

See, we have the nicely-ordered foo_initcall()'s, and the old-fashioned
legacy __initcall happens to map onto device_initcall().

Such code should use device_initcall() directly.  So we see at which
stage in initcalls this function will be called.

Yeah fair enough. 

A little git'ing tells me there were 31 new __initcall()'s added between
2.6.24 and 2.6.25, and there are 12 more lurking between 2.6.25 and
linux-next. They're breeding!

You can't stick a #warning inside a #define can you? How about:

#define __initcall(fn)				\
do {						\
int Use_device_initcall_not___initcall_please;	\
device_initcall(fn);				\
} while (0)

Which gives:
warning: unused variable ‘Use_device_initcall_not___initcall_please’

..

Yeah OK that was a joke.

cheers

I'm sure Andy can give us a checkpatch warning when someone uses
__initcall.  That'll help a bit.
