No, with a release no @init is expected. The init method is one
of the major obsfucations here, only topped by the weird
vfio_alloc_device macro. Yes, that saves about 4 lines of code
in every driver, but places a burden on the struct layout and
very much obsfucated things. Without vfio_alloc_device and
the init method I think much of this would make a lot more sense.
See the patch below that goes on top of this series to show how
undoing these two would look on mbochs. It it a slight reduction
lines of code, but more readable and much less churn compared
to the status before this series.
