Since the initramfs generation is done in %postrans of the kernel rpm,
we can drop all hard requirements.
Also make some requirements a conflict to express the version
dependency.
Determine devices and filesystems to be included in the host-only
initramfs image.
To get a minimal initramfs, which can mount
/
/etc
/usr
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/lib
/usr/lib64
/boot
we look in fstab for the corresponding devices and determine their and
their slaves' filesystem type and put all that in $host_fs_types
and $host_devs.
Unlike "ifconfig", the "ip" command does not set a broadcast address
unless explicitly requested.
add "brd +" to make "ip" calculate the broadcast address on the fly
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.

The dm module, which lvm and dmraid depend on, installed dmraid
shared libs. The lvm module installed udev rules, which were
already installed by the dm module.
Cleaned up those issues.
The kernel's primary console device is determined by the last "console="
argument on the kernel command line. This setting should be respected by
dracut-generated initial RAM disks.
Steps to Reproduce:
(Easiest using a KVM VM, virt-manager and "virsh console")
1. Boot with a kernel command line ending in
console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200
2. Observe both tty0 and ttyS0.
The output of init scripts is sent to ttyS0, as the final "console="
argument determines the primary console device as per
Documentation/serial-console.txt in the kernel sources.

inst_script checks for a shebang, if it doesn't exist it exits.
If it does it should not be calling inst_binary, it should call
inst_simple like it used to.
The Xen module is unnecessary and it has been for a while.
Most Xen systems will not be using the module, even now, because
xen-detect is not installed by default on most Xen systems, and
dracut uses xen-detect to decide whether to include the module.
It also has some problems:
1) it does not try loading xen_platform_pci;
2) it loads modules unnecessarily; modules.alias is where all Xen support
should reside. Assuming xenbus_probe_frontend and xen_platform_pci
are loaded so that Xen devices are probed, other modules are picked up
automatically thanks to aliases such as
alias xen:vbd xen_blkfront
3) Even not-so-recent kernels (say 2.6.32) require the xen_platform_pci
and xenbus_probe_frontend modules even for non-paravirtualized guests.
60xen/module-setup.sh picks the module only for PV guests.
So, just require xenbus_probe_frontend to be builtin, and also
xen_platform_pci for fully-virtualized guests, and remove the module.
