[make-initrd] [PATCH v6 08/22] bootchain-waitdev: introduces an optional waitdev_timeout

[Leonid Krivoshein]

"waitdev_timeout" describes a common timeout for all "waitdev" steps
in the "bootchain". Defining a timeout allows to use a fallback if
the specified devices are not ready yet. By default is not set, which
makes to wait forever.
