Dracut documents the BOOTIF argument to be a MAC address and so we
accept one in any of the conventions we recognize. However, the PXE boot
loaders like to prepend a "01-" to denote an ethernet hardware type.
Accept that too.

Certain arguments (such as "nameserver") don't specify a connection they
apply to and using them would generate a default ethernet connection.
This is probably not the right thing to do.
This is used to indicate the network dracut module should fall back to
configure network automatically (as with ip=dhcp was specified) if
there's no other network configuration present on the command line.
The option is documented in dracut.cmdline(7).

The library is called "libnm_core". So the dependency should be called
"libnm_core_dep", like in all other cases.
(cherry picked from commit c27ad37c27)
From the files under "shared/nm-utils" we build an internal library
that provides glib-based helper utilities.
Move the files of that basic library to a new subdirectory
"shared/nm-glib-aux" and rename the helper library "libnm-core-base.la"
to "libnm-glib-aux.la".
Reasons:
- the name "utils" is overused in our code-base. Everything's an
"utils". Give this thing a more distinct name.
- there were additional files under "shared/nm-utils", which are not
part of this internal library "libnm-utils-base.la". All the files
that are part of this library should be together in the same
directory, but files that are not, should not be there.
- the new name should better convey what this library is and what is isn't:
it's a set of utilities and helper functions that extend glib with
funcitonality that we commonly need.
There are still some files left under "shared/nm-utils". They have less
a unifying propose to be in their own directory, so I leave them there
for now. But at least they are separate from "shared/nm-glib-aux",
which has a very clear purpose.
(cherry picked from commit 80db06f768)
New code we want to add LGPL licensed to make it easier to share code
between libnm and the daemon.
The code in question was only recently added in commit b544f7243d
("initrd: add iBFT reader") and mostly written from scratch by Lubomir.
Some parts were adapted from earlier ibft code.

NMIPAddr contains an unnamed union. We have to either explicitly
initialize one field, or omit it.

initrd does not use keyfile API from "src/settings/plugins/keyfile",
hence it does not use nms_keyfile_utils_escape_filename() to add
the ".nmconnection" file extension.
I think that is problematic, because it also misses escapings which
are necessary so that NetworkManager will accept the file.
Anyway, the proper solution here would be to move the keyfile utility
functions to libnm-core, alongside base keyfile API. That way, it
could be used by initrd generator.
For now, just dirty fix the generated filename.
Fixes: 648c256b90
nm-initrd-generator scans the command line for options relevant to network
configuration and creates configuration files for an early instance of
NetworkManager run from the initial ramdisk during early boot.
This is loosely based on nms-ibft-reader, but with some significant
changes. Notably, it parses /sys/firmware/ibft directly instead of
iscsiadm output.
iscsiadm is not available on early boot (perhaps it's too large) and
turns out that parsing sysfs directly is easier and more
straightforwared anyways. A win-win situation.
It is not useful alone, it's in a separate commit just for the sake of
easier review.
