First, there's a kludge-o-round that is similar to your "sleep 10"
that you've added.  It loops waiting for more devices to show up if
the desired root file system hasn't appeared yet.

There's no way for hot-plug busses to tell the kernel "I've tried my
best to enumerate everything on my bus, and I'm done"
