automatically sleeping waiting for USB storage to come up in
the way we were used to do it doesn't work as one expects, because
USB is very common and USB storage devices are very likely to be
present on a system.
Furthermore, the initialization code after setup_slowusb is already
waiting for devices to come up.
Our modprobe is an ancient heritage from the past, probably dating to
a time where busybox's modprobe features were limited. There is no reason

/newroot/mnt/cdrom (which is now just a bind mount), this avoids
losetup to expose unavailable paths inside the live system, breaking
mkfs.btrfs (next upstream version, which does silly things with
/proc/mounts).
Set DO_slowusb as default, and make setup_slowusb unset it if it cannot find
a usb-storage attached. This makes genkernel ramdisk adhere to "noslowusb",
makes the ramdisk only wait if there is a usb-storage attached and should fix
