Move the code responsible for installing stage3.bin to the
boot/Makefile. In addition, remove the stage3.bin from the Makefile
`all` target prerequisites in src/Makefile, as zipl can be built without
it. While at it, use $(INSTALL) instead of $(CP) for the bootloader
installation.

The NGDump initramfs-tools module is required to build an initramfs image
to be used with NGDump stand-alone dump. NGDump stand-alone dump does not
use a pre-built initramfs image in contrast to SCSI stand-alone dump.
Instead, an initramfs image is built with initramfs-tools if NGDump
stand-alone dump is installed on a NVMe partition.
The NGDump initramfs-tools module ensures that all necessary tools are
present within the built initramfs and a dump of /proc/vmcore is initiated
to the chosen NVMe partition when the installed dumper is IPLed.
The NGDump intramfs-tools module installs a configuration file and
a dump script into dumper initramfs. This dump script starts at boot
shortly after the initialization of the dump target device. It reads
the aforementioned configuration file that contains the name of a dump
partition to store a dump on. The dump script reads the configuration file,
mounts then the dump target device, creates a copy of /proc/vmcore with
the makedumpfile tool on it, and then shuts down the system.
Ubuntu and Debian are the main Linux distributions targeted by this
initramfs-tools module.

The NGDump dracut module is required to build an initramfs image to be used
with NGDump stand-alone dump. NGDump stand-alone dump does not
use a pre-built initramfs image in contrast to SCSI stand-alone dump.
Instead, an initramfs image is built with dracut if NGDump stand-alone dump
is installed on a NVMe partition.
The NGDump dracut module ensures that all necessary tools are present
within the built initramfs and a dump of /proc/vmcore is initiated
to the chosen NVMe partition when the installed dumper is IPLed.
The NGDump dracut module installs a new systemd service and a dump script
into dumper initramfs. The systemd init process starts the NGDump service
at boot shortly after the initialization of the dump target device.
The NGDump systemd service, in its turn, starts the dump script provided
by the new dracut module. The dump script mounts then the dump target
device, creates a copy of /proc/vmcore with the makedumpfile tool on it,
and then shuts down the system.
The NGDump dracut module can be used on any Linux distribution which
supports dracut. But the primary targets are:
- Fedora
- RHEL
- SLES
