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.
Nearly every general documentation including the one in the
kernel tree and the scripts for GRUB2 all expects this flag
to work.

On some system the output from the new lddtree does not match with what
genkernel expects, however lddtree have insted gained a new option that
essentially gives what we want with less code.

If INIT_OPTS='' is not specified before the argument loop, scoping rules
will prevent it from being seen by the switch_root invocation.

Clean up documentation and functionality of "part" argument to
initramfs. It is meant to imitate the same option to the kernel.

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.

Whenever /etc/zfs/{zdev.conf,zpool.cache} was missing, we would fail.
zpool.cache is not generated during cross compilation, which causes a
failure in Catalyst when building LiveCDs. Users that do not follow a
strict set of installation instructions can also suffer failures as a
consequence of this.
zpool.cache includes information about known pools that enables ZFS to
detect situations where an entire pool disappears. It is also required
to do pool import in corner cases, such as those those involving
file-based pools, and has the beneficial effect of reducing pool import
times. Unconditional omission of zpool.cache in general is not an
option, but for the situations identified, it is okay to convert the
failure into a warning, which is what we do.

We do not support ramdisk, only initramfs nowdays.
So init= is a dead command, and we may as well have it do the same as
it does for dracut and in the Linux kernel documentation.
(Use rdinit to choose the initramfs init file)

We only support creating initramfs nowdays, so RAM disk support is not needed.
Since initramfs does not need root=/dev/ram0 (and we actually ignore it if it is set),
we should not tell people to use it.
We should also stop tell people to use real_root.

"depmod -e" needs either -F System.map or -E Module.symvers
"depmod -b" resolvs an empty argument to PWD, so only use -b if
INSTALL_MOD_PATH is actually set
If you give the kernel O= with the same dir as the source, it will
complain about an unclean tree.

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.

The old driver is problematic, as even with the pata_amd module loaded,
it will not release the device. Disable the old driver on remaining
platforms, add pata_amd where missing & needed (not alpha).
