Subject: [PATCH] boot/module.nix: add timeout option On desktop systems, it is
 convenient to have the timeout at zero, and just spam space when trying to
 start a previous generation. On servers however, it is preferable to have
 some time to choose the generation, which is quite convenient if you have to
 acess is remotely via a web interface, which tend to be quite slow and
 unresponsive.
