Currently dracut only support 1 bond, namyly bond0 by default. However multiple
bonds configuration may be needed. For example in kdump, in 1st kernel, more
than one bonds may be configured, and bondX other than bond0 is used as output
interface to remote host which will store dump core. This patch can solve this
problem, to write real bond information to initramfs, 2nd kdump kernel will
use it to create the relevant bondX interface.

A bridge device with only one underlying ethernet device is almost
useless, for sure we want to support a bridge with multiple
underlying devices.
This patch adds the support by extending <ethname> in the original
bridge= cmdline to a comma-separated list of ethernet interfaces.

Format:
bond=<bondname>[:<bondslaves>:[:<options>]]
bondslaves is a comma-separated list of physical (ethernet) interfaces.
options is a comma-separated list on bonding options (modinfo bonding for
details) in format compatible with initscripts.
If options include multi-valued arp_ip_target option, then its values
should be separated by semicolon.
bond without parameters assumes bond=bond0:eth0,eth1:balance-rr
* SYNTAX
bridge=<bridgename>:<ethname>
If bridge without parameters, assume bridge=br0:eth0
* When <ethname> would be configured by network scripts, instead create a bridge named <bridgename> then add <ethname> to that bridge.
* Then $netif becomes <bridgename> instead of <ethname> and all existing scripts process netroot mount via this new $netif instead of <ethname>.
* Include a few test cases in NFS and NBD
