Initscripts now export their state to an arbitrary boot logging/probing program. This opens up the possibility for advanced boot profiling, among other interesting uses.
Hm, this looks very similar to the latest splash support as modified by Thomas. The hooks in both patches are placed at exactly same positions. This brings me to an idea of unification of both patces into one hook support with 2 hooks - splash and probe (adding other hooks will be deadly simple too). Simo, Thomas, do you like this idea?
It is actually a copy of the splash patch with generalized naming. Simo, what is the intention here?
His intent was to keep people from going "no way! I hate splash!". I think, more or less, he was proving a point 8)
Thomas, any final word here? I know the splash people would like it. And, for the record, I do like the more generalized names without "splash", because in essence they're progress output and not splash specific.
Ping? Can we move this one forward here - this is the same patch as before with better, more generic names.
