This one is fairly interesting and needs some resolution by someone
who knows....

On the surface, the patch is correct.

Rusty, can you explain when __setup functions are called relative
to in-kernel init functions?  or put another way, can a __setup
function safely call in __init function?

Here's the function in question:

static int parse_hd_setup (char *line) {
	int ints[6];

	(void) get_options(line, ARRAY_SIZE(ints), ints);
	hd_setup(NULL, ints);

	return 1;
}
__setup("hd=", parse_hd_setup);



Should we make parse_hd_setup() __init,
or make hd_setup() non-__init, or something else?

{time passes, he looks]

OK, I looked at include/linux/init.h.  From what I can see
there, __setup() causes an .init.setup section to be emitted,
so marking __setup() function as __init would make sense.
I think that this patch is good.

Thanks.
