Subject: [patch 03/11] fix for crash in adummy_init()

From: Daniel Walker <dwalker@...sta.com>

This was reported by Ingo Molnar here,

http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/12/18/119

The problem is that adummy_init() depends on atm_init() , but adummy_init()
is called first.

So I put atm_init() into subsys_initcall which seems appropriate, and it
will still get module_init() if it becomes a module.

Interesting to note that you could crash your system here if you just load
the modules in the wrong order.
