Comment (by simonpj):

 > I'm wondering if it is legit to deal with initIfaceTcRn by just
 repalacing it with TcRnMonad.initIfaceLoad

 We might indeed want to do this.  But you might want to keep the moving-
 code-around work in a separate patch, lest the diffs from that refactoring
 obscure the main payload
