That's not needed, and you are going to break the implicit ordering we

Ups, 10 points for you - I didn't consider that.

You are going to have to figure out what
bus type the driver is, to determine what segment it was in, to figure
out what was loaded before what.

hmm, if it's just the ordering by bus type (but not within one bus
type), then it shouldn't be the big deal to fix, as I'll need one table
and register-loop per bus-type anyways.

By the way: how is there init order ensured with dynamically loaded
modules ? (for cases where there aren't explicit symbol dependencies)
