It feels weird to have the GEM subsystem initialized last when you
consider the fact other subsystems might want to allocate GEMs in their
_init() function. I know it's where the panfrost_gem_init() is right
now, and that ultimately it doesn't prevent anyone from allocating
GEMs, but I think it would make sense have this called before any of
the other subsystem init functions, still.
