This creates a basic root filesystem, creates an initramfs, and tries
to boot to the basic filesystem.
The init code on the test filesystem prints how much memory is used vs. free
and then drops to a shell. Exiting the shell will power off the VM.
This patch introduces --skip-missing to skip modules failing /check,
allowing to use the check infrastructure not only for
dracutmodules="auto".
Result: dracutmodules="auto" becomes obsolete, automatically setting
dracutmodules="all" and skipmissing="yes"

With the /check infrastucture in place, dmraid is missing a check file.

Victor Lowther introduced -c to freely set dracut.conf. Means we can get
rid of automatic use of ./dracut.conf if -l is used, use -c instead.
Second this patch prefers options before config files and adds an option
-d|--drivers to set the modules= option.

Shift some required functionality from switch_root.c to init.
String manipulation and filtering, and testing for the existence of init
is easier in the init script than in C.
The reason this works is that inst will refuse to overwrite a file that
already exists. We jsut make plymouth's code to ask for a password have the
same name as 90crypt's password asking script, and it will override 90crypt's
script while leaving everything else intact.
To use this, your module needs to supply a check script which returns 0
if the module is applicable to this system, 1 otherwise.
If a module does not include a check script, it will be sourced. If no modules
have check scripts, then dracutmodules=auto behaves exactly like
dracutmodules=all
We also need to decide whenter we are going to support modules.* files.
Not only are they Fedora-specific, but doing so makes =* arguments to instmods
have two different and incompatible meanings depending on whether that file
exists.
Followup: Harald Hoyers "Merge" repository boots on ub8.10 with a dracut.conf similar to the following one and the attached patch applied
> cat dracut.conf
modules="ata_piix sd_mod sg"
dracutmodules="dash kernel-modules debug terminfo udev-rules.ub810 base"
