dracut-037
==========
- dracut: hostonly_cmdline variable and command line switch
    Toggle hostonly cmdline storing in the initramfs
    --hostonly-cmdline:
        Store kernel command line arguments needed in the initramfs
    --no-hostonly-cmdline:
        Do not store kernel command line arguments needed in the initramfs
- dracut: --mount now understands full fstab lines
- dracut now also includes drivers from the /lib/modules/<version>/updates
directory
- dracut: only set the owner of files to 0:0, if generated as non-root
- dracut now directly writes to the initramfs file
- dracut: call lz4 with the legacy flag (linux kernel does not support the new
format)
- systemd: rootfs-generator generates JobTimeout=0 units for the root device
- systemd: added the systemd-sysctl service
- systemd: add 80-net-setup-link.rules and .link files for persistent interface
renaming
- systemd: make dracut-shutdown.service failure non-fatal
- network: various IPv6 fixes
- network: DCHCP for IPv6
- network: understand ip=.....:<dns1>:<dns2>
- network: parse ibft nameserver settings
- shutdown: if kexec fails, just reboot
- lvm: handle one LV at a time with lvchange
- module-setup.sh:
    New functions require_binaries() and require_any_binary() to be used
    in the check() section of module-setup.sh.
- a lot of small bugfixes
