It's difficult pulling this earlier. We want to keep a specific override
order in place between kernel cmdline, configuration file, env vars and
argv. However, at the same time not all of that is available at all the
time, and some things (like policy loading) need to take place before we
open an new fd...

So far when it came to debugging something this early in the code i just
recompiled the thing with a higher debug level, even if that sucks...
