    It would be great to collect CPU utilization, disk activity, etc. in
    the boot loader and the kernel start-up. I don't know if we have the
    hooks for that though. Everything seems to be based around user space
    at the moment. Still, we could integrate in the sense that it could
    show the various boot stages on the chart. Could be useful.
