Hans de Goede 059390ac56 ply-device-manager: Fix race causing undesired creation of non-gfx devs
On systems with working drm/kms devices we still sometimes see:
"Creating non-graphical devices, since there's no suitable graphics hardware"
in the logs (and actually create non-gfx devices).

This is caused by a race where the create_devices_from_udev timeout handler
runs just after the pivot-root, just at the time when the "udev trigger"
from the real root is done.

This causes create_devices_for_subsystem() to hit the "it's not initialized"
code-path for all drm and fb devices, even though before (from the initrd)
drm-devices where already setup successfully.

One way of solving this would be to stop the timer as soon as we successfully
enumerate the first drm device. But we need the timer to enumerate fb devices
so on machines where some outputs only have a fbdev driver (corner case) this
would break support for those outputs.

Instead this commit moves the found_drm_device and found_fb_device to the
global manager state and sets them from create_devices_for_udev_device().
This way they will be set when we check them from the create_devices_from_udev
timeout handler even if create_devices_for_subsystem skips over the devices
because of the udev trigger race.

plymouth - graphical boot animation and logger

Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process
(even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical
boot animation while the boot process happens in the background.

It is designed to work on systems with DRM modesetting drivers. The idea
is that early on in the boot process the native mode for the computer is
set, plymouth uses that mode, and that mode stays throughout the entire
boot process up to and after X starts. Ideally, the goal is to get rid
of all flicker during startup.

For systems that don't have DRM mode settings drivers, plymouth falls
back to text mode (it can also use a legacy /dev/fb interface).

In either text or graphics mode, the boot messages are completely
occluded.  After the root file system is mounted read-write, the
messages are dumped to /var/log/boot.log. Also, the user can see the
messages at any time during boot up by hitting the escape key.

Plymouth isn't really designed to be built from source by end users. For
it to work correctly, it needs integration with the distribution.
Because it starts so early, it needs to be packed into the
distribution's initial ram disk, and the distribution needs to poke
plymouth to tell it how boot is progressing.

plymouth ships with two binaries: /sbin/plymouthd and /bin/plymouth

The first one, plymouthd, does all the heavy lifting. It logs the
session and shows the splash screen. The second one, /bin/plymouth, is
the control interface to plymouthd.

It supports things like plymouth show-splash, or plymouth
ask-for-password, which trigger the associated action in plymouthd.

Plymouth supports various "splash" themes which are analogous to
screensavers, but happen at boot time. There are several sample themes
shipped with plymouth, but most distributions that use plymouth ship
something customized for their distribution.

Plymouth isn't done yet. It's still under active development, but is
used in several popular distros already, including Fedora, Mandriva,
Ubuntu and others.  See the distributions page for more information.
