list.h provides a dedicated primitive for
"list_del followed by list_add_tail"... list_move_tail.

Rename the async_*_special() functions to async_*_domain(), which
describes the purpose of these functions much better.

If we fail to create the manager thread, fall back to non-fastboot.
If we fail to create an async thread, try again after waiting for
a bit.

async_schedule() should pass in async_running as the running
list, and run_one_entry() should put the entry to be run on
the provided running list instead of always on the generic one.

At 37000 feet somewhere near Greenland I woke up from a half-sleep with the
realisation that __lowest_in_progress() is buggy. After landing I checked
and there were indeed 2 problems with it; this patch fixes both:
* The order of the list checks was wrong
* The locking was not correct.

turns out that there are real problems with allowing async
tasks that are scheduled from async tasks to run after
the async_synchronize_full() returns.
This patch makes the _full more strict and a complete
synchronization. Later I might need to add back a lighter
form of synchronization for other uses.. but not right now.

while tracking the asynchronous calls during boot using the initcall_debug
convention is useful, doing it once the kernel is done is actually
bad now that we use asynchronous operations post boot as well...

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.
