Hi Harald

i've split the scripts in three modules because 'masterkey'
initializes a kernel key which can be further used by other
dracut modules, like 'integrity' and 'ecryptfs'.
Another reason is that the last two do completely different
things (the former initializes the EVM framework, the latter
mounts an eCryptfs filesystem).
