Dracut modules can only be looked for in HOST_DIR/lib/dracut/modules.d/
as dracut does not offer the possibility to look elsewhere.
Installing files in HOST_DIR/ can do done either from a host-package, or
via a post-built script; there is no overlay like there is for target/.
This is a bit cumbersome.
Additional modules are most probably developped in a relatively tight
loop with the configuration files, so it makes sense to expose both
close together.
Add an option to the fs/cpio filesystem, so users can point to a list
of modules to install.

It is not unusual that projects can target multiple boards, and in
such cases, a lot is shared between boards and only the low-level
stuff differ.
Allow users to specify more than one dracut config file to cover
tose cases.
dracut does not accept more than one config file with the -c option,
but it can load more than one from a directory with --confdir. So,
we copy all the config files to a temporary directory and se that as
--confdir. However, we can't drop passing -c, or dracut would read
the system-wide /etc/dracut.conf (not sure if ${prefix} is even used),
which we do not want. So, we use an empty file as -c; /dev/null comes
in handy as an empty file.

Adds an option to invoke the dracut host tool, providing
a configuration file, instead of having a full cpio archive
of the whole target directory.
A default configuration file is provided. It assumes busybox init.
ideally, a different default should be used in case of systemd init, but
that's left for future work.

Adds U-Boot image support for cpio root filesystems. This allows you to
use the bootm command in U-Boot to load the rootfs. It makes it possible to
verify the CRC of the initramfs before booting the kernel.

Recent mails on the list show that it is not very clear how to create
an initial RAM fs with buildroot. So make this more explicit in the
cpio and initramfs help texts. Hopefully this will reduce the /init
debugging we have to do.
