This adds capability to hand over the network configuration from
OpenFirmware (and potentially other boot loaders with openfirmware
support such as U-Boot) to NetworkManager.
It's done analogously to ACPI/iBFT. In fact, the same ip=ibft command
line option is used, adding a more general ip=fw alias. This probably
deserves some documentation, but I'm not adding any at this time.

get_word() only moves the "argument" pointer forward. It never sets it
to %NULL. Also, above we already dereference argument, so Coverity thinks
that this NULL check indicates a bug.
Drop it to silence Coverity.

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).

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