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.

[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

in slackware the default mktemp is not from coreutils.
A simply make in test directory mangled my rootfs due
to initdir is blank
Also mktemp could failed with other reason like ENOSPC or EPERM

dracut: make prefix configurable
Harald changed the meaning of --prefix/--noprefix, but
forgot to update their documentation. This patch
fixes that.
