 There are elements in common, but by and

already been tackled by the enterprise crowd (they don't like their
S390's or 1024 core NUMA systems taking half an hour to come up).

Please do not position this as a mostly solved large systems problem,
For us it is touchpad detection stalling kernel for 0.5-1 sec. Which is
a lot given that we boot in seconds.

Dmitry, would working on top of the aysnc series be reasonable? Then
we could address these as separate things which we'd build on top of.
The one aspect I see us needing to share is the "async probe universe
is OK" flag.
