nice idea - and i like the way it's done gradually. Most previous
attempts at "parallel bootup" had the fundamental problem if trying to
do too much at once.
I've created a tip/fastboot experimental/test topic for this and pushed
it out. (see the URI below)
It's not integrated into tip/master yet - is the problem reported by
Simon Arlott understood?

fastboot: create a "asynchronous" initlevel
fastboot: turn the USB hostcontroller initcalls into async initcalls
fastboot: convert a few non-critical ACPI drivers to async initcalls
