And I would love to get this back on the table - I honestly think that
the initcall solution, although it had it's own set of 'problems' is a
more robust approach that the current 'array of function pointers'
solution.

I think we now have a number of ideas (some with solid patches) that is
going to make the future of the boot sequence very bright indead:

 - Bootgraph
 - Unified timer API (nanosecond would be nice)
 - initcall
 - 'pre-console' output buffer
 - timestamped printf()

Looking forward to opening up these cans of worms again :)

Regards,

Graeme
