Does it make sense to support all 4 modes?  What's the tradeoffs
of running it as init versus an early process?  

Does all of the bootchart code need to be merged in here versus say
systemd exporting whatever information is needed, and tightly
integrating with it if it exists?  The plymouth integration may be a
good precedent here.
