Jeremy Katz aabc0553b5 Add first pass of keyboard/console font setup
First pass of keyboard/console font setup.  This ends up being Fedora/RHEL
specific as everyone specifies these things in a different place

Current TODO list, broken into things which are relevant for the
initramfs itself (/init et al) vs the generator. A lot of things
are/should be marked with "FIXME" in the code
INITRAMFS TODO
--------------
* Currently, our switch_root command uses nash's switchroot. Getting
a reasonable switchroot implementation into util-linux-ng is a
pre-condition for support on other distros. pjones has a basic
implementation at
http://pjones.fedorapeople.org/mkstart/usr/lib/mkstart/switchroot.c
and I've asked kzak about util-linux inclusion
* The hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of
lame. See about getting /lib/udev/initrules.d or similar for storing
the rules that we care about in the initramfs. These could be
symlinks/hardlinks to the main rules in some cases or special-cased
ones
* LVM activation by udev is a bit of a large hammer right now
* dm-crypt (luks) depends on plymouth
* plymouth is hard-coded... this may be reasonable as modesetting goes
into the upstream kernel as a way to get off of fb-splash stuff, but I
can see this being a point of contention for other distros
* plymouth --show-splash should be done as a udev rule so that we
can switch modes first
* root= parsing should be done with udev creating /dev/root symlink
for us appropriately
* Support thaw (resume from hibernate)
* Proving some support with a simple network based root would be good
* Do we just call dhclient, etc or try to get NetworkManager going?
* Would be nice not to have to kill and restart udev across switchroot
* mdraid
* dmraid
* multipath
* Should SELinux policy be done in the initramfs or from the real
rootfs?
* Keyboard layout/consolefont setup is Fedora/RHEL-specific.
GENERATOR TODO
--------------
* Default module specificatoin could use some work
* udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
