Some of the drivers (AHCI was mentioned to me as a culprit) take a long
time to discover all the devices attached to them. Even for ones which
are relatively quick, if you put a lot of them in a machine, it will
take a long time in aggregate. This can be fixed by adding support for
asynchronous scsi scans, which causes the time-consuming portions of
initialisation to take place in threads.

ACK. I tried to apply the patch, but git-applymbox choked on every
single file modified. Quite possibly, its due to a whitespace cleanup
in Alan territory.
If you would either (a) wait several hours for libata-dev.git#upstream
to mirror out, and resend, or (b) supply a git:// URL to pull from, I'll
merge.
