Comment (by flixos90):

 I just noticed a severe problem in the first patch: It reversed the order
 of the `admin_init` and `admin_menu` hooks which obviously we shouldn't
 do. [attachment:37526.2.diff] fixes this:

 * at the point of setting up the menu, the administration panels need to
 be registered already; this makes it impossible to use `admin_init` for
 it, so I introduced a new action `admin_setup` which runs a little earlier
 * plugins must call `register_administration_panel()` from that new
 `admin_setup` hook

 The rest of the patch is similar to the first one, so the before comment
 still applies to everything else.
