I'm not sure there's a restriction on non __init code calling __init
code. In init/main.c arch_call_reset_init() is in __init, and it calls
rest_init which is non __init, without any special handling.

Is the compiler complaint mentioned above related to calling
into __init code, or with some other issue?
