[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.
