[PATCH -mm] fix for crash in adummy_init()

2006-12-30 Thread Daniel Walker
This was reported by Ingo Molnar here, http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/18/119 The problem is that adummy_init() depends on atm_init() , but adummy_init() is called first. So I put atm_init() into subsys_initcall which seems appropriate, and it will still get module_init() if it becomes a module.
