At what stage? If it's initramfs, then don't have one on initramfs. (Not by
default anyway, add a symlink when you're ready to start caring, or write the
correct path to /proc/sys/heeeeeeere's_hotplog.)
Failure to exec 1000 times shouldn't take too long. I have shell scripts that
fork and exec 1000 times in under a second, and they're actually doing
something.
