We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does
that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename
to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore.
Like -H, we need to poll every module to check if it is needed
to mount a specific device in '--mount'.

To start bnx2fc, we need to run fipvlan only and not dcbtool. DCBX is run
automatically in the hardware, but VLAN discovery needs to be started by
fipvlan.

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.
Note that there are still some patches queued upstream for fcoe-utils to
enable it to work with the new lldpad and to add support to fipvlan to
bring up FCoE connections without requiring fcoemon to run.
The invocations of the various tools as in this patch should be final though,
see the discussion in:
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563794
This is the second revision of this patch, which no longer adds /etc/fcoe
to the initrd as that is not needed.
ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument
for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
Having it unconditionally pass pulls in all the networking cruft even
for systems that do not need it, and that sorta defeats the purpose of
hostonly mode.
Supported cmdline formats:
fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb>
fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb>
Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for
future use.
Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase!
Examples:
fcoe=eth0:nodcb
fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb
