	Previously, VME bridge support was treated as any other driver (using module_init() macro), but if VME bridge and vme_user (staging) drivers were compiled into the kernel, then vme_user would attempt to register itself before the VME core support had been loaded. This would result in a kernel panic. The load order of these built-in drivers is based on the order in which drivers/staging/vme and driver/vme are compiled. This patch changes the VME core driver to use the subsys_initcall() macro which ensures that it is loaded before all other VME drivers regardless of the order in which they are compiled.

2012-04-26	Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of staging	Greg Kroah-Hartman	1	-0/+19
	This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/. The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
