Can you please still try it?  The init script is broken and we're now
just trying to restore just enough of the old behavior so that the
issue is not exposed.  The boot script in use seems to load md/dm
modules after storage drivers and use their termination as the signal
for "storage ready", so it could be a good enough bandaid even if
you're not using dm/md.

Thanks.
