Add a xenpci feature needed for xen driver domains that needs PCI devices
already in initramfs.

This is for instance needed for a xen storage driver domain hosting its rootfs
on a pci passthrough SAS controller.

Previously, datadir was ignored when installing, using the hardcoded
default value.

the ext4 module can handle ext2

The "cryptkey" boot parameter enables keyfile decryption. By default,
init will look for a keyfile named "/crypto_keyfile.bin". Another file
may be specified like so: "cryptkey=/path/to/keyfile.bin". If keyfile
decryption fails, init will fall back to passphrase mode.

- Allow including dasd and qeth modules when building initramfs
- Add detection for dasd and qeth devices from cmdline in init

we may want have conditional default config depending on architecture

Having xfs_repair in the initramfs can help if your root filesystem
is messed up.

release 3.2.0

this also introduces default behaviour for networking
calling configure_ip without setting ip defaults to dhcp

We need run cryptsetup in parallel so that keyboard drivers are loaded
while waiting for password input.

But cryptsetup will recreate the device which means that the uevent for
new device node will first be added then changed and finally will it
create the /dev/mapper/* device node. We handle the first generated
uevent and while handling, the device node might have disappeared
causeing blkid not find any UUID, and the /dev/mapper/* does not yet
exist.

This means that we need to:
- handle uevents in parallel while waiting for password input
- block uevent handling while actually setting up the crypt device

So we use libcryptsetup and add a mutex while setting up the crypt
device.

nlplug-findfs is a tool that will help us to find a given filesystem
using coldplug. The only reason that initramfs exist in first place is
to set up a rootfs and switch to it. The nlplug-findfs will handle
coldplug events til a given filesystem/device is found and then mount
it.
