Well, I remember asking Alan if he'd prefer it done that way, and not
getting a reply back. So I didn't press further.
The change to support __init/__exit in drivers/net is a no-brainer, and I
did test it at the time -- it worked as expected. But it's really up to
Alan to decide, I couldn't care less to be quite honest.
In a way I think I understand why he's reluctant: it's very easy to end up
changing the initialization order by mistake and messing up people's
network setups.
