It is way in time to have it in init :-)

If you have to link libcap, probably :-( OTOH, maybe you can have all
used-only-once code in a different page than the commonly used code, so that
it can be swapped out easily...
Anyway, for init, you might do a much simpler "initcaps=0xf00" that does not
need libcap, if size is a problem.
