SubjectRe: [PATCH] module, async: async_synchronize_full() on module init iff async is used

to load it from the root fs you tend to need... an elevator ;-)


I think it's pretty fair to users to say that if you want something by default at boot time,
you need to build it in...
but for us to try a modprobe from the initrd is not too bad I suppose.
probably need to do this around the time we initialize the block layer
