+ * there are 3 funcs which need to be _initcalled in a logic sequence:
+ * 1. xen_late_init_mcelog

+ *
+ * xen_late_init_mcelog must register xen_mce_chrdev_device before

+ *
+ * mcheck_init_device should be inited before threshold_init_device to
+ * initialize mce_device, otherwise a NULL ptr dereference will cause panic.
+ *
+ * so we use following _initcalls

+ * 3. late_initcall(threshold_init_device);
