This is a bit misleading: It is only disabled if the attempt to start it
has failed. Was this observed in practice ? If so, it might make sense
to identify and fix the underlying problem instead of trying to work
around it (or is this addressed with the second patch of the series ?)

Anyway, the patch itself is fine.
