... and the other problem here is that we currently probe devices via an 
arch_initcall(), and the board file init_machine is also an arch_initcall.
Either we'll need to be very careful about Makefile ordering, or we should 
just call omap2_init_devices() from the board file init_machine directly.
The latter makes the most sense to me.
