There are a myriad of devices on current systems. Traditionally, we
trigger them at boot in alphabetical order by their sysfs path (more
or less that is). Only once triggered subsystems waiting for them will
see the devices. Since at boot typically the most waited for devices
are block devices it's thus benefical to trigger them first, as this
unblocks a major part of the rest of the boot process.
Or in other words: nothing really "waits" for your mouse to show up in
the device table. Everyting waits for your root block device to show
up. Hence trigger the root block device first, and the mouse later.
