The reason I took the other approach is that I didn't want to introduce an arbitrary delay into my startup. I have varying speed machines (ranging from P90 up to Athlon 1800) and wanted a solution consistent across all of them. I think that you can accomplish the delay startup through initrd without a kernel change. Delay solutions don't directly deal with the race between mounting and detecting the USB device though. If I select a value to small then I still don't get a successful mount. Maybe this isn't a major concern for this area of the kernel though... at this point there really aren't any other tasks so the delay should have very consistent results.
