If the root= argument is numeric, set ROOT to the appropriate
/dev/block/N:N symlink instead of mknod'ing a /dev/root device. This
makes wait-for-root able to detect those devices. (LP: #576429)

mdadm autoassembly works by matching hostname with what is stored in the
uuid bits of the array. So hostname needs to be set at boot time for the
rootfs to be mounted, when the rootfs is on an array which has to be
auto-assembled. Added support for setting the hostname. (LP: #330399)

Apparently the iscan hook is sometimes called iscan-data, so ignore
errors from that too (LP: #654856).

Ignore errors from iscan hook, due to a widely-deployed third-party
package causing upgrade problems (LP: #603053).

mkinitramfs uses cpio --dereference; adjust to cope

222. By Colin Watson on 2010-09-17

Make /etc/mtab in the initramfs a symlink to /proc/mounts, since e.g.
current ntfs-3g doesn't work otherwise (LP: #641306).

hooks/thermal: Force load thermal modules on powerpc for now, as there are
no modaliases for these modules, so udev won't touch them. Longer term,
scripts will need to be written to better identify which thermal module
needs to be loaded. (LP: #631358)
