The 750ms delay is from thinkpad-acpi. I sent a patch to Henrique which 
makes it go away, but I'm not entirely sure what the ACPI method 
concerned is supposed to be doing. The opregion code won't currently run 
until X is started because the drm layer requires X to be the foreground 
vt before handling IRQs.
