I haven't had a look at your work yet, so something might already
be supported implicitely. However, I imagine it'd be useful to have
 * waiting with service bring-up until specific device got mounted
   (eg. for transmission or postgresql)
 * support for attaching and activating LVM2 volumes
 * support for using cryptsetup to open LUKS and TrueCrypt volumes
   see https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/3259
