Now I see where your intentions with the autostart are coming from.

Sorry, this is not the way it is supposed to work, and not the way it
is documented.

In terms of splitting bootm into smaller units you are riught. In
terms of implementation it's wrong.

I think I will back out the autostart patch because it introduces
incorrect and undocumented behaviour.
