[GIT] async / fast boot patches

[GIT] async / fast boot patches

[Arjan van de Ven]

Hi,

Please pull the git tree below to get three changes that help make boot faster
1) Remove the temporary "disable async" from 2.6.29
2) Flip the order of networking and ata; ata needs to init as early as possible
   since it takes the longest. Both Jeff and Dave agreed and suggested the patch
   should go via this tree
3) Don't do the unpack_to_rootfs() twice... it's expensive



The following changes since commit

This one clashed with the compression changes - but I think I resolved it 
ok. But somebody who actually uses initramfs should definitely 
double-check my merge.
