SetBootProgressFunction gives you the progress and time. If they slow down to a
crawl then something stalled.

Distros have the option of triggering an event with a special name you can pick
up on. Thats distro dependant though, as are the causes of slowdowns.

i somehow skipped the Callbacks part on that page, sorry.
here's some experimenting with Plymouth.SetUpdateStatusFunction, and was
wondering if i can get list of events that happened on last boot ?
(so i could make this more generic and show the ghost when an event
comes that was not in last boot)

(does 3 boot runs, normal, fsck inteferring, after fsck)
