OK good, will drop the export.

Ah, set_globals inits can now move to init_early as well. That happens
after map_io so sounds like that should do for what you need.
Will reply with a patch for that to the series. BTW, these patches

I think there may be few more patches missing from Arnd's tree still.
I also need to do a bit more testing on it tomorrow.
