Nothing about the init command seems really necessary. Why not just do
that stuff from an /sbin/init script?

I'm not a kernel hacker by any definition, but I'm pretty sure its
neccasery because we want it to be done before /sbin/init is ran, AKA hide
the kernel messages :)

You can already hide the kernel messages by booting with the 'quiet' option.  
It works pretty well and it seems like this stuff should be in userspace 
anyway (console support in general that is).
