Hmm... mount still can be __init (devtmpfs_mount() is), and I suspect
devtmpfs_setup() could also be made such - just turn devtmpfsd()
into
static int __init devtmpfsd(void *p)
{
int err = devtmpfs_setup(p);

if (!err)
devtmpfsd_real(); /* never returns */
return err;
}
and you are done. As for the prototypes... include/linux/init_syscalls.h,
perhaps?
