When we switch to dracut we will need to specify certain kernel

dracut will need information for configuring the nic and
about the iscsi target present on the kernel cmdline.
How are we going to have password type information? /proc/cmdline is
readable by anyone, so we don't necessarily want them there :)
You can either generate your own dracut initrd or inject config files in
the generic dracut initrd with cpio. Though the parser to create config
files from the current host state has not yet been written.
I wonder if a good way to go here is actually to use a second cpio.gz
with any non-version-dependent and host-specific data like iscsi
passwords. They then just get exploded and dracut doesn't (necessarily)
need to know that it's two actual initramfs files and it keeps anaconda
(eg) from having to regen the initramfs itself

or, as Hans found out:
# chmod 0400 /proc/cmdline
