: Is this the "delay in mountroot patch"?  If so, I think it should go
: in.  Can you send to Andrew for commit?  If he's not available, please
: remind me to commit it.

That patch needs comments that say it is a workaround because we don't
have a way to signal the mountroot code that all my configuration is
done.  This is a problem for all hot-plug technologies...

but other than a comment, I'm cool with that patch going in.
