Let me try to create module from it and also enable this option in Kconfig
and test it and I will see if there is any problem or not.
If not, I will do it as module because as I said I see only one
reason why this could be helpful which is testing.
Because you can run set of testcases with this module and without
but on the same kernel configuration. And you don't need to recompile
the kernel and reload it.

There shouldn't be a problem to use this as module too.

Based on Kconfig(bool) this is also device_initcall
> kirkwood: module_init
But based on Makefile(depends on ARCH_KIRKWOOD) as I wrote this is device_initcall
