Looks good, a few comments remains. We are down to matter of personal taste.

A verbose comment above this line descibing the whole concept about initcalls
would be nice. Keep it short and informative.

I would like to see $(notdir and the counterpart $(dir used instead of
$(@F) and $(@D). The latter two are deprecated by make.
See make.info.
This is general for all of kbuild, but since this is new stuff I bring it up.
