2.1.93 is out there. It is broken on other platforms than x86,
2.1.because I had to move some initialization code around, but this
2.1.shoul dbe very easy to fix (moving the device init code later
2.1.makes a _lot_ of things easier: the system is essentially up
2.1.and running, and "kmalloc()" etc actually works).

It even breaks Intel, /proc/pci no longer works etc.

This change should have been thought out better before it was made, so
much of the device probing level is coded with the old ordering in
mind. I realize the advantage, but it's going to take a week or so to
cleanup everything so all arch's work once more.
