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.

[harald@redhat.com: usable_root(): relaxed check for root]
The "read" shell builtin consumes backslashes, which is a problem if
your root device is something like "LABEL=Fedora\x2016".
Using "read -r" tells the shell to leave backslashes alone.
This patch replaces:
- {var}>... redirections with functionally identical eval construct +
explicit FDs
- ^^ and ,, case modifiers with temporary shopt
This allows us to lower minimum required bash version
to at least 3.1 (with current code).

mostly with reference to earlier commit:
- bash doesn't need unsetting locals
- make normalize_path() a bit faster, also make sure we remove all
trailing slashes
- normalize paths before tests

- IFS was not preserved, and modified value could leak to outside functions
- the '.' relative path should be returned for arguments such as /x/y/z
/x/y - but not for $1 == $2 ones
- $1 == $2 is self-looping link, so it returns final component of its
name

Filtering modules requires enough work that instmods() in the
next pipeline stage was rarely busy. Parallelize the two
filters which do the most work. Also fix a filename-vs-contents
mistake in net_module_filter.

Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Parallelize block_module_filter
Bash shell expands all ${parameter} before evaluating a command.
For multiple declarations and assignments within the same 'local' command,
then new variables or new values that appear towards the left
do not affect parameter expansion towards the right.

Subject: [PATCH] Parameter expansion occurs before command evaluation.
${parameter} on the right is expanded before evaluating "local var=value"
on the left.
ID_FS_TYPE can be much more than just ddf/imsm/linux raid member, so
do the proper checks.

Whitespace removal in:

str_replace ' aax aaxaa' x y
would return 'aayaayaa' instead of ' aay aayaa'.
