Assuming I get the rc.sysinit patch right, you can create a symlink to your
swap partition and then use this in /etc/fstab. In fact, you can do this
for all your partitions to keep from failures if your device names shuffle
(basically where e2label wont let you label). Separately its also good for
rawdevices.
Hotplug wise, I think it is also valuable especially if you hotplug various
storage types.
As for driverfs, which I haven't really worked with, I figured I could start
using that directly for the UUIDs instead of the methods that are currently
being used (scsi inquiries, /proc/ide/hd#/identify)

Have you thought about how this will interact with driverfs in 2.5?
Other than that, it looks ok to me, but I really don't have a need for it,
do others?
thanks,
