Where do_initcalls call each of init functions from __early_initcall_end to __initcall_end. But I don't know from where these values gets initialized. If you look here: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.1/include/linux/init.h#L279 module_init is mapped to __initcall, which is in turn mapped to device_initcall, which sets up a pointer in a section called .initcall6.init If you then look in the kernel linker script: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.1/arch/arm/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S#L175 INIT_CALLS is defined here: http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.7.1/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h#L633 and it defines the __initcall_start and __initcall_end symbols.
