I don't honestly think that the probe code has any business doing that,
unless we're trying to add a periodic-update hook to the whole boot
process.  

Right now, the splash go-away poll happens during console text output,
which is IMHO about the most sensible place to put it.  I was planning on
doing one rotation for every ~10 characters output, or perhaps one per
newline.
