This allows us to use kernel core functionality (e.g. cma) for ITS
initialization. MSIs must be up before the device_initcalls (pci and
platform device probe) and after arch_initcalls (dma init), so
subsys_initcall is fine.

You've missed the fsl-mc stuff in staging, which has the same behaviour,
except that it is a postcore_initcall.

More importantly, what guarantees do we have that this doesn't break
anything else? Sure, the ITS itself will work fine, but what about the
subsystems that depend on it? Just on the PCI side, I can see a bunch of
initcalls that are much earlier than subsys, and that says nothing of
other subsystems (such as the above fsl stuff).

I'm not saying that this is wrong, but I'd like some evidence that
you've done the required due diligence, ensuring this will not cause any
regression.

Thanks,

	M.
