[PATCH] initcall failure reporting
We presently ignore the return values from initcalls. But that can carry useful debugging information. So print it out if it's non-zero. It turns out the -ENODEV happens quite a lot, due to built-in drivers which have no hardware to drive. So suppress that unless initcall_debug was specified. Also make the warning message more friendly by printing the name of the initcall function. Also drop the KERN_DEBUG from the initcall_debug message. If we specified inticall_debug then we obviously want to see the messages.
