eww. Didn't it feel bad when you did that?


As this module has a dependency upon debugfs, I'd have thought the
approproate way of expressing that would be to run debugfs_kprobe_init()
at a lower initcall priority than debugfs_init()

debugfs_init() already runs at core_initcall level, presumably so that
debugfs clients can use plain old module_init().

In which case we don't need this.
