This is mostly for the first patch, which allows setting UDEV_TIMEOUT=0 to
prevent 'udevadm settle' from being called. Looking back historically, this
seems to cause a lot of grief with a lot of hardware. Googling turns up things
such as...

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/387086
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=585527
http://lkml.org/lkml/2011/4/12/538
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117481

So, we're looking at both recent and less recent. Moreover, most people
won't miss this if its disabled, as it's really just acting as a barrier
for coldplug events to complete processing. As long as it's optional and
documented, I think this is a reasonable thing to do.
