/* Each module must use one module_init(). */
#define module_init(initfn)
static inline initcall_t __inittest(void)
{ return initfn; }
int init_module(void) __attribute__((alias(#initfn)));

The sole purpose of the generated __inittest() function it to check during compile time, that the function passed to module_init() macro is compatible with the initcall_t type.
All module initialization functions must conform to the type, since (as can be seen from the init_module() definition) they are not called directly, but rather are called via special aliased name init_module().
