Add hyperv-keyboard kernel module for Hyper-V Gen2 VM
The synthetic keyboard of a Gen2 Linux VM doesn't work before the
hyperv_keyboard module is loaded. Without it, we can't cancel the media check
phase if boot with rd.live.check option.
Gen1 Linux VM doesn't have the same issue because the host emulates the legacy
i8042 keyboard for Gen1 VM.

Adds bittorrent support for live images
This patch adds bittorrent support to 45url-lib for those that might want
to retrieve the same live image for multiple systems at once without
saturating the network.
This patch requires ctorrent to be installed into initramfs.
Torrent kernel command line format:
root=live:torrent://example.com/liveboot.img.torrent

Adding support for read/write filesystem images
A user can provide a filesystem image (rootfs.img) inside a compressed
tarball and that filesystem image will be mounted read/write. This provides
some benefits over a device mapper snapshot overlay, especially when the
live system becomes full. The boot command line simple needs
"rd.writable.fsimg" added to utilize this feature.
Additional documentation for this option as well as other live boot
options is included.

Generate reproducible initramfs images
With the same source of files, it should be possible to generate the
same image file with every dracut run.
To accomplish this, we modify the timestamps of the files we generate at
runtime, call gzip with "-n" and cpio with "--reproducible".
The cpio --reproducible option is not yet upstream though, so if you
feel like it should be then please nag at the cpio mailing list.

Test soc path for modalias needed by drm
On ARM, both pci and soc path can be tested for drm.
With this patchset, that was missing in recent kernel,

dracut-functions: get_persistent_dev() fall back to the original name
In case of raw disk/partition, ex. /dev/vda1, which doesn't contain any
filesystem on it. get_persistent_dev() would return empty. Now fix it to
return its original name, /dev/vda1 in above case. So that we don't have
to check its return string every time.

dracut-functions.sh: fix inst*() functions for "-H" handling

Installing an OS with VLAN enabled to an ISCSI LUN (from ibft)
When installing OS to a VLAN enabled iscsi LUN (extracted from iBFT), "/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_ibft_config" is not being set properly.
Then anaconda installer requires 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' populated in ifcfg of the vlan interface (ex: ibft0.20), for it to properly populate the kernel parameters post installation. The setting 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' is populated by write-ifcfg.sh script only if the corresponding interface has a file /tmp/net.{xyz}.has_inft_config
To get around this issue, in ibft_to_cmdline() function in net-lib.sh file, I made the following changes to populate the has_ibft_config file for the vlan interface(ex: ibft0.20):

bonding: use hwaddr of the slave rather than the master
When a bonded interface is brought up, any slaves included in the bond
have their hardware address set to that of the bond master. Although
this allows an interface to be brought up on start up, when the
configuration file is imported into the booted system it prevents
the bonded interface being successfully restarted.
The fix involves obtaining the hardware address of the slaves before
they are added to the bond and then using this value in the
configuration file.

kernel-modules: Fix storage module selection for sdhci/mmc/ahci
Currently the block driver detection for generic initrd doesn't include
the SD/MMC drivers so we fail to boot generic images on any device using
those platforms as boot devices when using a generic initrd. Add logic
to detect those modules. This primarily fixes embedded ARM devices but
also likely intel tablets/dev boards and enterprise hypervisors that
have the ability to boot from SD.
Also the ahci_init_controller misses a number of drivers that use the
libahci_platform module for the init so this fixes some missing achi
moduless too.
Finally it cleans up the ARM storage module hacks that the above now
deals with in a more generic manner.
