"quiet" is already used by the kernel to avoid printing messages on the
console unless they are errors or warnings. Genkernel should do the same
wrt its initramfs initialization code.
This has also the advantage of improving the boot speed.
scandelay=<secs> should be always preferred. Moreover, nowadays
automatically sleeping waiting for USB storage to come up in
the way we were used to do it doesn't work as one expects, because
USB is very common and USB storage devices are very likely to be
present on a system.
Furthermore, the initialization code after setup_slowusb is already
waiting for devices to come up.
While this makes out of the box booting a bit harder on some ancient CD/DVD
drives, it really speeds up the common use case by not sleeping for 3 seconds.
Our modprobe is an ancient heritage from the past, probably dating to
a time where busybox's modprobe features were limited. There is no reason
at all to keep using our own version instead of the busybox one.
This commit also makes modules_scan 15% faster.
The default value of ${ZPOOL_USAGE} is unset, quoting it would result into
a "" argument passed to zpool. The workaround to this is to use "dozfs=force"
boot argument.

Somewhere in the mists of time we lost part of the multipath patch, so
we were bundling the userspace, but not the kernel modules, or ever
using it.

Make ZFS only import the specified pool
Set zfsutil when mounting non-legacy rootfs
Check for /sbin/zpool in addition to /sbin/zfs
Print information messages when ZFS pools are imported
Prompt user when mounting a ZFS filesystem without ZFS support
Verify that <dataset> in real_root=ZFS=<dataset> is a filesystem
Dogfooding of the /usr mount code with the matching OpenRC change to
make the mounts RW revealed some bugs and gotchas in our prior code, now
fixed and verified to work.
