Previously if "$rootok" = 1, parsing of netroot command line arguments
was skipped. For multiple netroot arguments, all parse scripts have to
run.
Previously only the first netroot argument was taken into account for
the parsing scripts. Now every netroot argument is processed.
install nfs modprobe config file
For nfs4, in case nfs.ko is not loaded mount.nfs4 will try to load
nfs4.ko instead of nfs.ko. Fedora nfs-utils creates a lib/modprobe.d/nfs.conf
in which there's below alias:
alias nfs4 nfs
Dracut also need this file to auto load nfs kernel module.
Tested booting to a fedora 17 nfsroot share.

- Remove root=nfs nfsroot=...
- Remove root=nfs4 nfsroot=...
- Remove root=/dev/nfs4 nfsroot=...
- Legacy nfsroot= without root=/dev/nfs should be unsupported according to the nfsroot.txt.

47 This is necessary to enable the pseudo-NFS-device. Note that it's not a
48 real device but just a synonym to tell the kernel to use NFS instead of
49 a real device.
As with other netroot boot arguments ip= lines should be parsed and
checked. Having this has the advantage that other cmdline scripts
can tell the ip= parser if dhcp or ip=:srv:... is needed, like
parse-root.sh (renamed dhcp-fallback) or parse-nfsroot do.
The nfs test-suite has one check which uses static ip lines, but
the autoconf param is wrong. Fixed this as well.
This introduces detailed cmdline parsing, warning or aborting if the
cmdline does not contain arguments according to the spec.
Makeing sure the parsers don't just call getarg for netroot et al,
allows their reuse inside netroot to analyse dhcp root-path as well.
Hence we can get rid of the current netroot hooks. The hook itself stays
in order to add further modules which should run before netroot handlers
are called.
This has one drawback: nfsroot needs some more logic to handle nfs
specific data inside dhcp root-path.
The parsers have been writting according to current discussions about
cmdline arguments. This lead to the "discovery" that some test-cases
violate the spec. These tests have not been removed, but change to
"must fail".
This adds support for a command line option netroot=, which is currently
equivalent to root=. This will allow us to break out handling in NBD and
iSCSI to support constructs such as "root=LABEL=/ netroot=dhcp" to make
use of our block device handling with network attached devices.
iSCSI has not been changed in this patch as I don't currently have a way
to test it.
Parse and convert commandline options in the cmdline hook, and
fill in the missing pieces in the netroot hook. This also allows
root=dhcp to work as expected.
