Magic?

IIRC its down to link order. There is a cryptic reference in the kbuild
docs section 3.2:

        Link order is significant, because certain functions
        (module_init() / __initcall) will be called during boot in the
        order they appear. So keep in mind that changing the link
        order may e.g.  change the order in which your SCSI
        controllers are detected, and thus you disks are renumbered.
