[PATCH 50/50] Some documentation updates

[PATCH 49/50] Modify hook loading to make it slightly easier to script.
...
Modules are now responsible for loading their hooks into the initrd.
This should be all the structure we need to make it easy for things
to integrate with dracut -- now to document and test it all.

[PATCH 48/50] Shift some functionality around, make modules maskable.
...
Most of our functionality is now in scripts that we source rather than in the
main dracut script.

[PATCH 47/50] Split out the various things we load into their own modules.

This should make it easier for distros to customize things according to
their preferences.

[PATCH 44/50] Get rid of echoer script
...
We can use sh -c to accomplish the same goal
Also move cat back on to the list of debugging tools -- all the files we were
using it on in the initrd can use read to accomplish the same goal.

[PATCH 43/50] Use ldd to find shared library deps.
...
This replaces the eu-readelf and ld-linux.so.2 hackery.
As a bonus it will keep working if we (for some bizzare reason) need
to load a non-elf executable or shared library on the initrd.

[PATCH 39/50] Prefer /bin/dash as /bin/sh on the initrd if it is available.
...
This is mainly for testing purposes -- if something non-POSIX is added to the
on initrd scripts, dash will die horribly.

[PATCH 38/50] Missed some non-POSIX substitution in root filesystem label parsing.

[PATCH 37/50] Try to install file as scripts before installing them as binaries
...
This ensures that scripts will ahve their interpreter isntalled before
they get installed.
Also included a minor fixup that skips library checking if the binary
we are testing is already installed.

[PATCH 35/50] POSIX-ize all the shell scripts that get installed to the initramfs.
...
Also install all the scripts using inst, so that we can install the right
shell interpreter for our scripts. We still install bash as well.

[PATCH 34/50] Use inst to install hooks.
...
This will ensure that pathname mangling is handled correctly, and that
whatever interpreter is handling /bin/sh is installed as /bin/sh

[PATCH 33/50] We now have a simple hook structure and 3 defined hook points.
...
Any script placed in /pre-udev will be sourced just before udev starts
device scanning and loading.
Any script placed in /pre-mount will be sourced just before we try to
mount a root filesystem.
Any script placed in /pre-pivot will be sourced just before we switch to the
new root filesystem.
These hooks should be the minimum needed to add back plymouth and deal with
more advanced filesysem mounting needs (multipath, iscsi, nfs, nbd, etc.)

[PATCH 32/50] Created pre-mount hook directory
...
This is for tasks that should run after device discovery, but before
mounting the new rootfs. Things like cryptoroot and resume from hibernate
should go here.
Hooks are sourced, not executed as separate scripts.

[PATCH 30/50] We no longer need plymouth.
...
init will ask for a passphrase directly if an encrypted root is detected.
Also, use udevadm settle with a 30 second timeout instead of a hardcoded
30 count loop.

[PATCH 23/50] Rip out old recursive module loading, replace with something simpler
...
bash allows unlimited recursion and several other tricks to make
finding all the dependencies of a kernel module much simpler.
This nukes about 130 lines, most of it in dracut-functions.
This diff also touches some cleanups made in the inst function.

[PATCH 02/50] Add a simple getarg function.
...
If we ever need to get more than one kernel command line argument, this
function will pay for itself. It relies on a feature of the way bash
handles string comparisons in [[ ]] statements -- the RHS is matched
according to globbing rules, and is not a straight string match.
