Exactly.  To modularize spice we need either inter-module dependencies,
so spice-audio.mo can depend on spice-core.mo etc, or allow multiple
module_init calls so we can link all spice components into one big
spice.mo module and each component can use module_init.

It's not mandatory for the initial revision, we'll need a bit more (like
registering monitor commands for 'info spice') so we can actually
modularize spice.  But it should definitively on the radar for the
planning ...

cheers,
