In case of raw disk/partition, ex. /dev/vda1, which doesn't contain any
filesystem on it. get_persistent_dev() would return empty. Now fix it to
return its original name, /dev/vda1 in above case. So that we don't have
to check its return string every time.

DRACUT_PATH can now be used to specify the PATH used by dracut
to search for binaries instead of the default
/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
This should be set in the distribution config file
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
because some inst*() functions check the existance of the source files
and do not know about the "-H" option, some failed to install the
hostonly files.
When installing OS to a VLAN enabled iscsi LUN (extracted from iBFT), "/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_ibft_config" is not being set properly.
Then anaconda installer requires 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' populated in ifcfg of the vlan interface (ex: ibft0.20), for it to properly populate the kernel parameters post installation. The setting 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' is populated by write-ifcfg.sh script only if the corresponding interface has a file /tmp/net.{xyz}.has_inft_config
To get around this issue, in ibft_to_cmdline() function in net-lib.sh file, I made the following changes to populate the has_ibft_config file for the vlan interface(ex: ibft0.20):
inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which
logs all installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used
to remove those files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line.
This patch adds option "-m|--mod" to lsinitrd to list dracut
modules in the image because sometimes having an option to
only list the dracut modules in the image could be handy.
Sample output:
--------------
[hbathini@localhost dracut]$ sudo ./lsinitrd.sh initramfs-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64.img -m

lsinitrd (and hence dracut) currently fail to list the contents of any
LZO-compressed image, and merely spit out misleading xzcat errors.
I guess no-one actually uses them.
rd.iscsi.ibft[=1] should be used instead.
Thing is, 'ip=ibft' is not really an ip setting, but rather a marker
that iBFT should be evaluated.
Also removed the trigger of the warning:
"Warning: Please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines"
