Interesting, so we load the usb-stack, and wait till
/dev/input/keyboard0 can be openened and then continue, with a timeout
in case there is no keyb (servers)
-what about USB-storage, will hotplug handle the fsck too?
-and what about USB-network, will hotplug handle setting up the
interface, and what about daemons who depend on the network?
