linux/init.h:
#ifndef MODULE
...
#define module_init(x) __initcall(x);
#define __initcall(fn) device_initcall(fn)
#define device_initcall(fn) __define_initcall("6",fn)
#define __define_initcall(level,fn) \
static initcall_t __initcall_##fn __attribute_used__ \
__attribute__((__section__(".initcall" level ".init"))) = fn
...
#endif
So as you can see call to module_init is actually an initcall.
initcalls are processed in do_initcalls function in init/main.c
static void __init do_basic_setup(void)
{
....
do_initcalls();
}
