I did something similar to this for SYSINIT. The easiest thing to do is to put the functions into one linker set per queue, and then bubble-sort them in place. The code doesn't have to be fast. The main advantage is that I can have 0 or more "power devices", and everything will "just work". It just depends on what you do or don't link into your kernel, not putting specific knowledge of the devices into the places where the events occur. I believe Julian is committing the third queue patch (or already has); he's the guy who originally did the code in the first place.
