If crypt-lib.sh is sourced from any #!/bin/sh script, a POSIX shell
quirk is in effect that causes variable assignments to "special
builtins" (such as "shift") to leak to their context. So the buggy
code works even despite the missing semicolons.
But if it is sourced by "bash acting under its own name", i.e. from
any #!/bin/bash script, the quirk is disabled, tty_cmd/tty_prompt are
undefined, and ask_for_password doesn't do anything if plymouth is not
present.
AMD's HSA Linux kernel driver (amdkfd) has been merged into the mainline
kernel since kernel 3.19.
However, for the driver to work, it needs to be included in the default
initramfs image, together with the amd_iommu_v2 driver.
The radeon driver (AMD's kernel graphic driver) calls amdkfd during its
initialization and probing stages. Because radeon is included in the
initramfs image, it tries to initialize amdkfd during the early boot
stages. However, as amdkfd is not present there, it fails.
That doesn't harm radeon operation. However, it disables the HSA
abilities in the machine.
Because of the current design, if you later try to "modprobe amdkfd",
you won't be able to run HSA applications, even though the driver will
be loaded.

Basic systemd functionality is in 00systemd now.
Switching root and the initrd.target is in 00systemd-initrd.
Dracut additions to the systemd initrd are in 98dracut-systemd.
Previously rd.live.fsimg only supported filesystems residing in
(compressed) archives.
Now rd.live.fsimg can also be used when a squashfs image is used.
This is achieved by extracting the rootfs image from the squashfs and
then continue with the default routines for rd.live.fsimg.
In addition some code duplication got removed and some documentation
got added.

This option changes the underlying mechanism for the overlay in the
dmsquash module.
Instead of a plain dm snapshot a dm thin snapshot is used. The advantage
of the thin snapshot is, that the TRIM command is recognized, which
means that at runtime, only the occupied blocks will be claimed from
memory, and freed blocks will really be freed in ram.

Dracut will generate systemd units for additional devices that should be
brought up during boot, e.g. swap devices. These unit files are broken
symlinks with \ in the filename, e.g.
/etc/systemd/system/initrd.target.wants/dev-disk-by\x2duuid-e6a54f99\x2da4fd\x2d4931\x2da956\x2d1c642bcfee5e.device.
Both the backslash and the broken symlink causes problems for shell
scripts, [ -e "$file" ] isn't enough and read requires the additional -r
argument to not react on the \.
The function 99shutdown/shutdown.sh:_check_shutdown() assumes that
shutdown scripts report success or failure via their return value.
However, "dmsetup remove_all" always reports success, even if some
of the device mappings could not be removed.
I submitted a patch for dmsetup but the lvm2 folks rejected it,
asserting that its behaviour is correct, that "remove_all" should
only be used by developers and that the proper solution would be
to invoke "dmsetup remove" on each device. This does report success
or failure via the return value.
Apart from fixing that issue, this commit also adds the dmsetup
option "--noudevsync". Without it, dmsetup would hang after removal
of a device while trying to communicate with systemd-udevd, which
is no longer running at this shutdown stage.

The sdhci-pci module is currently not being included in the initramfs,
even though other sdhci modules are. This breaks boot on systems that
rely on this driver to access the root filesystem.
Instead of looking for modules that use sdhci_pltfm_init, look for
sdhci_add_host. I checked 3.18 kernel sources, and this change
does not remove any of the previously-matched SDHCI drivers.
It should result in the addition of sdhci-pci, sdhci-s3c, sdhci-spear
and sdhci-acpi.
For targets with colons in the iSCSI target name:
"iqn.2000-09.com.foo:storage-system.e2000:00000001cm1p1"
the parser was confused with the optional iscsi_iface_name and
iscsi_netdev_name.
This patch reintroduces the old IQN, EUI and NAA parsing and enhances
the fallback parser by checking the LUN for a numerical value.

rootfs is on nbd
In not hostonly mode, require_binaries will still complain.
If in hostonly mode and the module is explicitly added via -a nbd, then
install() section will still complain later:
