With the same source of files, it should be possible to generate the
same image file with every dracut run.
To accomplish this, we modify the timestamps of the files we generate at
runtime, call gzip with "-n" and cpio with "--reproducible".
The cpio --reproducible option is not yet upstream though, so if you
feel like it should be then please nag at the cpio mailing list.

In case of raw disk/partition, ex. /dev/vda1, which doesn't contain any
filesystem on it. get_persistent_dev() would return empty. Now fix it to
return its original name, /dev/vda1 in above case. So that we don't have
to check its return string every time.

DRACUT_PATH can now be used to specify the PATH used by dracut
to search for binaries instead of the default
/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
This should be set in the distribution config file
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
because some inst*() functions check the existance of the source files
and do not know about the "-H" option, some failed to install the
hostonly files.
When installing OS to a VLAN enabled iscsi LUN (extracted from iBFT), "/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_ibft_config" is not being set properly.
Then anaconda installer requires 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' populated in ifcfg of the vlan interface (ex: ibft0.20), for it to properly populate the kernel parameters post installation. The setting 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' is populated by write-ifcfg.sh script only if the corresponding interface has a file /tmp/net.{xyz}.has_inft_config
To get around this issue, in ibft_to_cmdline() function in net-lib.sh file, I made the following changes to populate the has_ibft_config file for the vlan interface(ex: ibft0.20):
inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which
logs all installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used
to remove those files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line.
This patch adds option "-m|--mod" to lsinitrd to list dracut
modules in the image because sometimes having an option to
only list the dracut modules in the image could be handy.
Sample output:
--------------
[hbathini@localhost dracut]$ sudo ./lsinitrd.sh initramfs-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64.img -m

lsinitrd (and hence dracut) currently fail to list the contents of any
LZO-compressed image, and merely spit out misleading xzcat errors.
I guess no-one actually uses them.
