[PATCH 4/5] initdev:kernel: Await network init device discovery, v2

[David VomLehn]

Delay IP autoconfiguration until network boot devices have been initialized.
This depends on the boot device discovery code and on the asynchronous
function call infrastructure.

History
v2	Change bootdev_* to initdev_*
v1	Initial release
