Fbsplash will=20 call a userspace helper as soon as fbcon is initialized. The helper can=20 be used put the console into KD_GRAPHICS mode and paint a full-screen=20 picture to cover any text messages. Progress bars and other fancy stuff=20 will be handled after init, by 100% userspace code (it's done that way=20 even with the current version of fbsplash).
