No idea. You might ask Tomeu Vizoso (I've added him to cc) for details
(or search for the thread "On-demand device registration" where he
complained that his chromebook boots slow). I've just measured, that
most my ARM boxes booted faster when I've used the ordering, instead of
slower through the introduce overhead to order initcalls (without having
parallelized the initcalls).

Posting times doesn't make much sense, as they heavily depend on the
configuration. Instead I've posted patches so you can test it yourself.

But if you want a real time, my Netbook with a single core but HT Atom
N270 boots in one second instead of two to "dmesg | grep Freeing".

Regards,

Alexander Holler
