I didn't install the modules of matched version for convenient. I've
built-in basic modules, and this problem can be easily reproduced on a
"sanity" kernel (just do a repeat reboot).

I added more logs, and found two paths may cause the
"bus_context_log()" to spend ~25s -- then "Failed to add_match for
'NameOwnerChanged' in bus_init_api():
1. "ExecStartPre=/bin/systemctl stop systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service"
spent too much time in need_daemon_reload(), it encountered timeout at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/systemctl.c?id=v29#n1080

2. In http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/tree/src/manager.c?id=v29#n2051,
a previous "UNIT_VTABLE(u)->sigchld_event" spent too much time
((1322740559, 397870)->(1322740585,528000))

Got it, I begin to remember the socket-activation mechanism. But I do
lost some messages in systemctl(ExecStartPre of rsyslog.service), and
after I adding a log_set_target(LOG_TARGET_KMSG), the messages appear
in syslog. Maybe log_parse_environment() set log target to 'console'?
