It's useful for passing a full fstab line including like fs_passno so fsck
can take effect.
Previously it's assumed that there's no fs_freq and fs_passno in fstab lines
so original code just append "0 0" at the end of each fstab lines.
Improve this issue by assign default value in case they are not passed in.
Three field are handled here:
fs_mntops: default to "defaults"
fs_freq: default to "0"
fs_passno: default to "2"

This patch adds support for lzop(1) & lz4(1) compression
algorithms to compress iniramfs image file. Both are supported
by the Linux kernel.
Linux kernel exports user's choice of initramfs compression
algorithm as a shell environment variable: INITRD_COMPRESS.
This patch adds support to read this variable and duly compress
the initramfs image file.
Environment variable INITRD_COMPRESS has less precedence than the
command line options --gzip, etc. Ie. command line options could
override the compression algorithm defined by $INITRD_COMPRESS.

--persistent-policy <policy>:
Use <policy> to address disks and partitions.
<policy> can be any directory name found in /dev/disk.
E.g. "by-uuid", "by-label"
This prints the kernel command line parameters for the current disk
layout.

This also changes the command line switch to be --add-device and the
config directive is set to add_device. This was chosen as device= in the
config file seems too generic and not quite as consistent with other
directives (i.e. drivers/add_drivers)
The --device command line is still supported but it should be considered
deprecated in favour of --add-device.
Kdump support dump to raw device which could be on top of complex storage
such as multipath and iscsi which are standalone dracut modules.
Add a --device option to dracut which will add the device to host_devs so
dracut can add the dependent modules automaticlly and enable them in initramfs.
--device will accept device node name as the param.
