Yes, I was thinking about that. But then I need to make sure
that alpha binfmt_loader is registered first, which is not
possible at the moment as binfmts get registered at core_initcall
level.
If it's acceptable to change binfmts initcall level to, say,
fs_initcall, then changing list_add() to list_add_tail() would
certainly work fine here.
