I'm not too convinced this is such a difficult problem to figure out.
We already have most of logic in place and the only thing missing is
how to switch it.  Wouldn't something like the following work?

* Add a sysctl knob to enable asynchronous device probing on module
  load and enable asynchronous probing globally if the knob is set.
Alternatively, add a module-generic param "async_probe" or whatever
and use that to switch the behavior should work too.  I don't know
which way is better but either should work fine.
I take it by this you meant a generic system-wide sysctl or kernel cmd
line option to enable this for al drivers?
If the expectation is that this feature should be enabled
unconditionally for all systemd systems, wouldn't it make more sense
to make it a Kconfig option (possibly overridable from the kernel
commandline in case that makes testing simpler)?

Cheers,

Tom
