Makes some sense - although the inode one should just take a hike at this
point. Can the fastboot option live under staging perhaps - its analogous
to staging drivers although clearly the code doesn't go there in this

The trouble otherwise is "fast boot" sounds like something good for
people to turn on, but right now it's the reverse.
