People have this crazy fetish with booting fast.
And implementing grep in shell makes it faster? It may be, but
that's certainly not a given. Moreover, I wouldn't be surprised
if eventually the udev rules or the initramfs will need something
that's not practical to do with 'while read foo'.

Please stop the discussion, this patch was not making things _that_ unreadable
and is not _that_ bad.
Sure, if we have to do things in shell which really look ugly and we have a tool
for it, better copy over the tool.
Now back to real work and real problems :)
