dracut-032
==========
- add parameter --print-cmdline
    This prints the kernel command line parameters for the current disk
    layout.
    $ dracut --print-cmdline
    rd.luks.uuid=luks-e68c8906-6542-4a26-83c4-91b4dd9f0471
    rd.lvm.lv=debian/root rd.lvm.lv=debian/usr root=/dev/mapper/debian-root
    rootflags=rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=ordered
    rootfstype=ext4
- dracut.sh: add --persistent-policy option and persistent_policy conf option
    --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"
- dracut now creates the initramfs without udevadm
  that means the udev database does not have to populated
  and the initramfs can be built in a chroot with
  /sys /dev /proc mounted
- renamed dracut_install() to inst_multiple() for consistent naming
- if $libdirs is unset, fall back to ld.so.cache paths
- always assemble /usr device in initramfs
- bash module added (disable it, if you really want dash)
- continue to boot, if the main loop times out, in systemd mode
- removed inst*() shell pure versions, dracut-install binary is in charge now
- fixed ifcfg file generation for vlan
- do not include adjtime and localtime anymore
- fixed generation of zfcp.conf of CMS setups
- install vt102 terminfo
  dracut_install() is still there for backwards compat
- do not strip files in FIPS mode
- fixed iBFT interface configuration
- fs-lib: install fsck and fsck.ext*
- shutdown: fixed killall_proc_mountpoint()
- network: also wait for ethernet interfaces to setup
- fixed checking for FIPS mode
