I see two alternatives out of this mess:

1) Speed up string PIO so we're actually fast again.

Certainly, the best option given that it needs no new interfaces, and improves the most workloads.

2) Using a different interface (that could also be DMA fw_cfg - remember, we're 
on a private interface anyways)

A guest/host interface is not private.

Admittedly 1 would also help in more cases than just booting with -kernel and 
-initrd, but if that won't get us to acceptable levels (and yes, 8 seconds for 
100MB is unacceptable) I don't see any way around 2.

3) don't use -kernel for 100MB or more.  It's not the right tool.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
