I'm not an expert on this at all, but my impression is that (a) the
scripts structure is more a function of the Linux packaging (e.g.,
Redhat vs. Slackware) than the kernel, and (b) all that's really
nailed down is that sysinit is started, and it can do as much, or as
little, as you want.  For example, I think that the big collection of
scripts comes from a single base script that invokes all the others.
So if you don't want that, change that first script so it doesn't.
