I checked the init call which is calling synchronize_rcu():
subsys_initcall(pm_sysrq_init); this is being called after
early_initcall.

The order of initcalls is early, core, postcore, arch, subsys, fs,
device, late. So I guess that is ok.

I wonder why it was not showing up in 12.04. I have a dual boot. Will
test it out and see if I can find something.
