   An update that has 14 recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This update for dracut provides the following fixes:

   - 95iscsi: Handle qedi like bnx2i. (bsc#1113712)
   - 91zipl: Don't use contents of commented lines (bsc#1119499)
   - dracut-installkernel: Stop keeping old kernel files as .old. The .old
     kernel files are confusing grub2 which can't find a matching directory
     under /lib/modules. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the new
     modules are fully compatible with the old kernel. If anything goes wrong
     with a new self-compiled kernel, the user can always boot back to the
     distribution kernel, so the .old backup files are not needed in the
     first place. (bsc#1112327)
   - 98dracut-systemd: Start systemd-vconsole-setup before
     dracut-cmdline-ask. (bsc#1055834)
   - Bring shell and all vital information to all ttys specified as console
     devices in emergency mode. (fate#325386, bsc#1053248, bsc#937555)
   - Fix displaying text on emergency consoles. (bsc#1124088)
   - Remove invalid "FONT_MAP=none" from vconsole.conf. (bsc#1013573)
   - Fix a missing space in example configs. (bsc#1121251)
   - Fix saving dumps to zFCP attached SCSI disks. (bsc#1008352)
   - Mark the DASD udev rules host-only and handle backslashes in paths for
     hostonly files. (bsc#1090884)
   - Add nfit module. (bsc#1110519)
   - Add a fix to override ACPI tables via initrd, a kernel config variable
     changed name. (bsc#1098448)
   - purge-kernels: Avoid endless loop when uninstalling kernels that depend
     on KMPs which in themselves depend on other packages (bsc#1125327)
