ok this explains something.
But the problem is not just for mutexes, it is more general.  Now
that i remember it, the FreeBS kernel has a little bit of support
in the kernel, so that you can specify a partial order for the
execution of constructors of "embedded" modules.

Maybe we could replicate something like that to enforce the execution
order.
