I also agree 100%. The boot loader should only be required to initialize whatever hardware it uses. The kernel should be required to initialize whatever hardware it supports. The kernel should not assume that USB or PCI or whatever has already been initialized by the boot loader. This doesn't happen on x86, so we should it happen on PPC?
