Kernel startup time

Registered by Robbie Williamson

Ensure that we maintain the 2 second startup time for our 10sec budget on our reference platform (Dell Mini 10 SSD). **No session needed***, but good to have a work item to track any changes that may be needed during the release.

pitti, 2010-02-01: Linked bug 515623, which we need for getting rid of the ridiculous dd process for rsyslog. Kees will handle it for now, but since it needs to be fixed in the kernel it should be tracked here.
