AOE (ATA over Ethernet) boot support?

AOE (ATA over Ethernet) boot support?

[Carl D. Roth]

Is anyone working on this?  I have some homebrewed dracut modules to 
accomplish this and didn't want to duplicate any effort.

Thanks!

Here's a first draft at AOE support in dracut.  Sorry for the kludgy 
posting method, I'm not sure what the best way is to contribute files 
here.

Inlined patches relative to HEAD are preferred.
