Can this increase boot time? I've no objection otherwise.
I understood that you have to load both the dpram and root firmware, is it 
right?

I'm very interested in S3 sleep mode (S4 is way too slow) and I'm volunteering 
for debug or little patches, but I cannot code such a change.
However I contributed in some linux projects and I don't see how you can 
continue to support both kernels, at least if you haven't two distinct and 
independent trees.
udev and sysfs are very important too in next few month.

my 2 cents.
