4.1.2: Final fixes

I have brought back 'pfix=noram', though under certain circumstances Puppy will override a user selection. Ditto the opposite, if the user specifies 'pfix=copy', Puppy may override.

I had to mess around a bit with the 'init' script and 'rc.sysinit' to get the 'ssb.ko' module to work properly, now that it is in the initrd. This problem only applies to the 2.6.25.16 kernel and if upgrading from 4.1 or 4.1.1.

I was testing my PCMCIA-USB adaptor (inserts into the PCMCIA socket on my laptop and gives me two extra USB2 sockets). I found a problem in 'init' -- 'yenta-socket.ko' got loaded, then 'elspci' is used to probe the PCI bus -- and in my case elspci detects (or rather, is supposed to detect) that I have to load the ohci-hcd.ko module. However, it doesn't work, and I found that there needs to be a sleep after loading yenta-socket -- I put in 2 seconds, which works for me, but may have to be finetuned, or something looked for in a loop to determine completion.

Actually, the sleep after loading yenta-socket is something we determined ages ago, and I vaguely recall about 2 seconds being right. It may have been back in Puppy2 that we were looking into that.
