Oh.  That's very different, then.  Never mind.  8-) 8-).

For that, you can just make your MTX_SYSINIT() not take args,
and pass in SI_SUB_LOCK and SI_ORDER_MIDDLE.  You probably
don't want to do it at SI_SUB_MTX_POOL, unless you can
guarantee there will be no allocations (someone else should
be able to tell you if this is a valid assumption for a mutex,
and whether it's likely to remain so for all time).
