If I read Hauke correctly, he wants an environment variable passed
from the Booter which would disable the ADB devices.
I can easily do that, but someone else will have to make the change
to the ADB driver (or it it earlier on in the kernel?) so that it looks for
a new environment variable (say DISABLE_ADB) instead of SERIALCONSOLE.
