Be careful, __initfunc only means that the code is freed after the
kernel initialization. You still have to add a call to the function
somewhere else. One place for this is init/main.c:start_kernel() for
general functions, drivers/net/Space.c for network drivers, drivers/char/mem.c
for character devices, fs/filesystems.c for filesystems etc.
