Several problems here.  One is that we usually use subsys_initcall() for
working around the known broken subsystems here, why have you decided to
go for arch_initcall() instead.  Another is that you're saying this is
for GPUs but I'm not aware of any reason why GPUs are broken and we
should not be introducing new problems here - what's going on?
