We probably don't, but I really do not want to get into the business of
maintaining our own dracut-specific set of rules.  These are stolen
directly from the udev git tree without any editing whatsoever.  The
goal would be to import the udev got tree as a submodule of the dracut
udev tree and copy them with cp every time dracut was rebuilt, but I am
too lazy to learn how to do that right now.

In terms of files, I think this is pretty close to it. I am happy to be
proven wrong, however. :)

In terms of lines, there is certainly some fat to be trimmed, but I
don't think we should be in the business of hand-crafting rules beyond
the minimum needed to support cryptoroot, lvm, and networking.
