73c46a3056 zdev/dracut: fix kdump by only activating required devices
This prevents out-of-memory (OOM) situations in the kdump crashkernel
environment.

Please note that the new dracut module 95zdev-kdump and the new library
zdev-lib.sh need to be packaged into the same (core) (sub)package as
95zdev.

This patch introduces a new dracut module "zdev-kdump", which is used
instead of module "zdev" when building a kdump initrd:

1. Ignore all persistently configured block devices and disable zfcp auto
LUN scanning => minimize the number of SCSI devices enabled during kdump.

2. Do not rely on chzdev's persistent configuration => work with systems
that do not use chzdev for persistent device configuration.

The detection of kdump is based on strict hostonly mode and on $IN_KDUMP.

The detection of kdump is also based on kdump_needed() in

71461d80bf Makefile: use common Make definition for DRACUTDIR
The dracut installation directory is referenced from `chreipl-fcp-mpath`,
`zdev`, and `zipl`; in each with its own individual definition and
variable name. This makes it unnecessarily hard to change it when
installing from the top level directory of s390-tools and passing
variable overwrites via the command line.

Fix this by defining a common `DRACUTDIR` variable in the shared
`common.mak` file, and referencing this in each tool as base directory.
With this a user can simply pass `DRACUTDIR=/foo/bar/baz` on the
commandline and change the installation for all three tools.

Further, also derive common `DRACUTCONFDIR` and `DRACUTMODDIR` variables
from `DRACUTDIR` in `common.mak`, so that `zdev` and `zipl` don't use
different variable names for the same directory anymore, and all these
are defined together in a common place.

Semantically nothing changes for a default build/installation.

3fb356ebd2 zdev: Integrate firmware auto-configuration with dracut
Add a dracut hook that applies firmware-provided I/O configuration data
as auto-configuration during boot. This way, all I/O devices configured
by DPM are automatically brought online without further user
interaction.

This mechanism is active by default. It can be deactivated by specifying
the following parameter on the kernel command line:

  rd.zdev=no-auto
