It saves time if you have multiple SCSI/FC buses on a huge machine,
yeah --- but I thought we still ended up waiting for all of the buses
to finish enumerating before we mounted the root filesystem, right?
So you can do some stuff in parallel, but I thought we still ended up
bottlenecking behind the SCSI/FC device enumeration.
