+early-ssh is a simple initramfs hook, which installs Dropbear SSH server
+into your initramfs, and starts it at boottime, so you will be able to
+do a lot of things remotely over SSH, before your root partition gets
+mounted, for example:
+
+* unlocking LUKS encrypted crypto devices - even your root can be an
+ encrypted filesystem
+* assembling/altering RAID arrays (mdadm)
+* checking the root filesystem in read-write mode, taking action in case
+ of errors
+* and so on...
