I've been continually frustrated by how hard
it is to get the sysinit chapter right through
the repeated small tweaks we've been doing
over the months.  Further, I've started looking
again at how to write a sample implementation of
this stuff (required for the lsbsi, been missing
way too long), and found it not really clear to
implement to.

So I took a while to do a major cleanup. The
sections are now consistent with one another,
and have cross-references so the reader should
easily see the relationships of the pieces.
I don't think I changed the meaning of anything,
but since so much changed, I've just popped
a copy here for a look:

This is a "proposed change", I haven't checked this in.

Note as you follow the links, only the sysinit
chapter is there, the other links will be broken.

Along the way I filed several bugs for clarification,
there's still some information that is not quite
sorted out in those:

http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819
http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821
and also interesting might be

Any comments?
