udev on the initrd :)

Made some big improvements on the openQRM project today by implementing udev in the initrd-stage so that unique disk identifier are available during the root-mount opterations. So an Iscsi root-device is now e.g. named :

/dev/disk/by-path/ip-192.168.10.1:3260-iscsi-iqn.2008-06.storage.lun0-lun-0-part1


instead of

/dev/sdxy

What a fun !!! Iscsi rocks !
I wanted to have this unique identifiers since the first time we had Iscsi-root deployment support in openQRM some years ago.

.... progressing fine for the next 4.1 release of openQRM
