Re: [RFC] Feature proposal to speed up the kernel.

Hello Vitalii,

This isn't my area of expertise, but I think I know enough to explain.
In early boot, the kernel initializes graphical output with, at most,
VESA graphics adapters utilizing Serial output.  This is a limited
text only mode that even with a Z80 or ATMEGA does not pose a burden,
let alone on the minimum hardware requirements for the Linux kernel.
The time, cycle count, power usage, and other requirements for this
stage are practically imperceptible.  By the time later graphics come
into play like you would see with Plymouth the kernel has already
entered into a multithreaded mode and such actions are being offloaded
to appropriate hardware and are not impeding the rest of the boot
process.

Hope this helps.
