Nitpick: Both of these messages are a bit imprecise. desc->early_boot
does not necessarily imply desc->auto_boot, so they may just be marked
as offline and not automatically started.

But you just moved this code and I don't think it's worth resending just
to polish these messages a bit more. :-)

In any case:
