Beware that the 'fastboot' you're talking about (making Linux boot fast), especially written this way, may easily be confused with 'fastboot', which is the Android-specific protocol to flash a system through USB (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_software_development#Fastboot). Besides this minor comment, I'm looking forward for the notes of this discussion on this very interesting topic.
