Digged a bit further into this.
In init.h the module_init() / module_exit() macros are defined.
They define an alias from the supplied function to
init_module() / cleanup_module().

Users of init_module() / cleanup_module() do have a ifdef section like
this:

#ifdef MODULE
init_module() ...
cleanup_module() ...
#else
module_init(modulename_init);
module_exit(modulename_exit);
#endif

So this seems to be modules that just needs a bit more
porting to the new module structure if I get it right.

What I missed when I asked the question was the #ifdef MODULE part.
