Currently dracut uses lvm.conf as found in the system and modifies only
global/locking_type setting. As there's a new feature introduced - the lvmetad
daemon, dracut should disable its use as well by setting "global/use_lvmetad=0"
(patch attached).
Otherwise, there's a warning message issued:
dracut: WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad: No such file or directory.
Falling back to internal scanning.

Another solution could be searching in directories found at
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf or adding a new parameter. Here is a patch
which adds a new --libdirs parameter, and also a new inst_libdir_file
function which will try to expand metacharacters on each lib
directory:
inst_libdir_file "libdevmapper-event-lvm*.so"
In kernel_only mode, we don't want to write /etc/cmdline.d
Correctly return the check functions, so we have a valid return of
for_each_host_dev_fs().
mdraid and dmraid functions had wrong checkings for the filesystem
type.
Due to the way the main loop runs to detect partions, the same one
might be included twice (albeit via different symlinks.
This code simply prevents the same combo being activated twice.
A better fix might simply be to not include duplicate (after
resolving symlinks) entries in the host_fs_types variable.
Like -H, we need to poll every module to check if it is needed
to mount a specific device in '--mount'.

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.
