I just wanted to send a bump on this series. With the first pull request 
of the merge window you merged Josua's patch. I'd still advocate for my 
original reasoning on the boot order priority, but in either case the 
second patch in this series is unique and non-conflicting since it adds 
support for the additional SCSI buses depending on configuration.

Josua - any objection to moving USB boot before SCSI in the priority 
order?

I'll rebase the series on current master since it will conflict, but 
wanted to try to get consensus on the approach before doing so.

Thanks!

Joel
