Add new functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
These functions print a warning line telling the user, which binary is
missing for the specific dracut module.
This unifies the way of checking for binaries and makes the life of an
initramfs creator easier, if he wants to find out why a specific dracut
module is not included in the initramfs.
The dracut dhclient-script.sh should set address lifetimes to the DHCP
lease time, so that other stuff (like NetworkManager!) knows that the
address is temporary and was created by DHCP.

Configure cmdline to:
ip=br0:dhcp bridge=br0:bond0 bond=bond0:eth0
By default ifup bond0 will run dhcp on bond0, which is wrong. bond0
isn't the top interface. we should really run dhcp on br0.
So if we ifup an network interface on secondary stack, we should not
dhcp. Fix this issue with this patch.
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.
Fix 3 issues in ibft_to_cmdline():
- unset local variables at the beginning of each loop
- only write vlan.conf when we write out ip=xxx
- when vlan id is 0, don't write out vlan.conf. Because 0 means untagged
and we don't actually need vlan interface.
We only wait for master interfaces for bridge/bonding/team/vlan case.
If none of these complex network is configured, we should wait for
ethernet interface (bootdev) instead.
configured_ifaces is a function that returns the names of each interface
that the user wanted configured.
Currently, this is accomplished by reading the list from
/tmp/net.ifaces. But if we want to allow the user to specify an
interface by its MAC address or IP or something, we need a function that
will read the cache and convert the MACs etc. to names.
(Obviously this conversion only works once udev starts, so it will warn
you if you try it too early.)
Now that we can use a MAC as a device identifier, we can just bring up
the device specified by BOOTIF as a normal interface.
So instead of ignoring everything but BOOTIF, we'll put BOOTIF in the
IFACES list and bring it up as normal, defaulting to DHCP if nothing
else is specified.
We can also handle anaconda-style 'ksdevice=bootif' this way.
A MAC address is a unique identifier for a particular network interface.
We can use the MAC to generate udev rules to bring up that interface,
like we currently do with BOOTIF.
This patch allows interfaces to be specified as a MAC address, either
in the usual colon-separated form or the PXE-style dash-separated form.
(The latter is more useful on the commandline, since it allows for
arguments like: "ip=77-77-6f-6f-64-73:dhcp")
This is useful since it's common for a user who is booting a new OS for
the first time to know the MAC of the device, but not know what the
kernel name will be.
