SubjectRe: [PATCH] fcache: a remapping boot cache

o Trying it on my notebook brought the time from the kernel starts loading to kde has fully auto-logged in down from 50 seconds to 38 seconds. The primed boot took 61 seconds. The notebook is about 4 months old and the file system is very fresh, so better results should be seen on more fragmented installs.

Update - the above numbers were with an older version and with the cache partition located at the very end of the drive (hence being a lot slower than the root partition at the front). The fcache boot takes 33 seconds now, from the kernel starts loading to the kde login has finished. Probably 5 seconds of that time is device probe and network setup (dunno why the latter is still sleeping so much, I disabled dhcp for this test to avoid waits (for both fcache and normal boot, of course)).
