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

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.

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)

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.

Running `mdev -s` will ensure that device nodes are properly initialized.
It does not function as a netlink hotplug daemon. We must run it after
the modules are loaded to ensure that /dev/zfs has been created before
userland programs attempt to use it.
Effective for genkernel's modprobe script or busybox "not small"
modprobe.

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.

instead. At the same time, mount cdrom into /mnt/cdrom instead of
/newroot/mnt/cdrom (which is now just a bind mount), this avoids
losetup to expose unavailable paths inside the live system, breaking
mkfs.btrfs (next upstream version, which does silly things with
/proc/mounts).
