Dear Linux folks,
Measuring where time is spent during boot with `systemd-bootchart` on an
Asus A780FullHD, it turns out that half a second is spent in
`pci_apply_final_quirks()`.
Here are the times copied from the SVG:
init_ladder 0.012s
init_menu 0.012s
pm_sysrq_init 0.012s
acpi_init 0.027s
pci_subsys_init 0.008s
hpet_late_init 0.004s
tracer_init_tracefs 0.002s
event_trace_init 0.008s
pnpacpi_init 0.002s
chr_dev_init 0.003s
init_acpi_pm_clocksource 0.004s
pci_apply_final_quirks 0.452s
populate_rootfs 0.400s
pci_iommu_init 0.003s
rsa_init 0.058s
serial8250_init 0.020s
i8042_init 0.003s
load_system_certificate_list 0.002s
ata_init 0.007s
ehci_pci_init 0.030s
ohci_pci_init 0.312s
ahci_pci_driver_init 0.342s
atiixp_pci_driver_init 0.337s
hid_init 0.004s
init_sr 0.031s
I don’t know what information you need, so I just include the Linux
Kernel version, and the output of `lspci -nn`.

It’d be great, if the times could be reduced, so that the time from GRUB
to entering the LUKS passphrase gets smaller.
Kind regards,
