Steffen Maier 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
