/run will get mounted at $NEWROOT/run after switch_root, but it's not
there yet. bind-mount it in place so updates for /run actually land in
/run.
(also: remove a redundant check for existing directories. mkdir -p
doesn't do anything if the directory already exists.)
In some cases (at least in mine) mount(8) is in /usr/bin/mount and
not in /bin/mount as dmsquash-live-root.sh expects. PATH is set to
/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin in that script anyway.
Since cp won't copy a directory over a symlink, any updates that were
supposed to go into e.g. /lib would get dropped if you had /updates/lib
as an actual directory, but the target system had /lib->/usr/lib.
It is useful to know that loop device that the live image's / is mounted
from. Make a /run/initramfs/live-baseloop symlink that points to it.
Edited-By: harald@redhat.com: changed /dev/live-baseloop
to /run/initramfs/live-baseloop
If we're about to start a Live image (i.e. if /dev/mapper/live-rw
exists) this script will take any files found in /updates (inside the
initramfs!) and and copy them into $NEWROOT.
This allows for hotfixes to be applied to existing Live images without
rebuilding the entire image.

Currently dmsquash-live-root requires that squashfs images be named
"squashfs.img" and all others be "ext3fs.img" or "rootfs.img".
If we've got a live image in initramfs, this patch will make dracut use
losetup and det_fs to determine the actual filesystem type of the image.

- use last ro/rw cmdline arg rather than favoring 'rw' over 'ro'
- don't bother with useless RES variable for holding $?
- only do fs check when $livedev is a block device

Fixes long-standing FIXME
Latest isomd5sum added an option to abort media check with ESC key,
but that key is taken by plymouth for switching to the detailed log
messages, making it impossible to abort checkisomd5.
Tested in text mode.
Every image gets handled the same way regardless of filesystem, so
let's use a filesystem-neutral name (rather than adding new
lines for every fstype anyone might want to use).
We want all "/var/run" information to live in /dev/.run, until the real
root is mounted.
Therefore we mount a tmpfs on /dev/.run, which can/will be bind/move mounted
on /var/run later on.
