support for booting from an aoe device

grobe0ba requested to merge grobe0ba/mkinitfs:aoe into master

  • aoe: causes the aoe module to be loaded. if passed a comma separated list of targets, it will attempt to explicitly discover these targets. aoe autodiscovery is automatic on linux, so passing a list of targets should not generally be needed.

  • aoe_iflist: takes a comma separated list of ethernet interfaces to attach to the aoe subsystem. this also ensures that those links are set to `up'. you effectively must pass this to use aoe because it is useless without being bound to at least one interface.

it is up to the user to add the network' and aoe' features to mkinitfs.conf, and the necessary modules for the nic to the bootloader modules= configuration.
