mdev is slow and missing features, it also requires that we load all the
modules that we include at once making the boot process slower.
udev is required for unl0kr (and buffyboard), it can also load modules
on demand (and asynchronously). Making the boot process considerably
faster on devices, especially for generic images where we have lots of
drivers for different display panels in the initramfs.
Additionally, import full fat modprobe from the kmod package, this is
required to support compressed modules.
This brings us more in line with other distros and generally improves
compatibility.
If devices use broken kernel modules which don't correctly define
modalias', these drivers may not be loaded by udev. This should be fixed
by defining the missing modalias statements in the driver.
This also runs udev earlier in the init, so that display drivers are
loaded before the splash in case they are needed.

This incorprates the debug-shell functionality directly into the
initramfs, so it's no longer necessary to build and boot a custom
initramfs in order to debug your device.
Additionally, the behaviour of the debug-shell is entirely reworked, It
now creates an ACM serial gadget which can be accessed via any normal
terminal emulator (picocom, minicom, etc; or PuTTY on windows). Rather
than just invoking sh, the debug-shell now creates a respawning getty on
both the new virtual console and the active console (this will either be
the UART console or tty0/1).
It is necessary to spawn these shells via getty since the logging rework
means we can no longer assume that stdin/out/err reference a TTY.
In addition to the above, it is now possible to trigger a log dump by
holding volume up during boot. This can be useful for helping users
debug their devices if the issue doesn't result in a failure that can be
detected in the initramfs.
With these changes, the console-shell and debug-shell hook packages are
reduced to only adding the additional tools/features. console-shell is
still required for fbkeyboard, and debug-shell for the setup_usb_storage
tool.

adjust the check in run_hooks to ensure the directory both exists and

This step is the most likely to go wrong or have issues, and it has side
effects which can make it difficult to run multiple times on one boot.
Move it to after hooks so that e.g. when dropping to a debug shell, we
land before the first call.
This also makes booting to hooks a faster in many cases.

Rework logging to always log the initramfs output to the kernel
ringbuffer and deprecate PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT in favour of following
the kernel loglevel.
I know it seems silly to use syslogd for this, but it's necessary to
buffer writes to /dev/kmsg per-line if we want to correctly set the log
level, and "tee" does not do this (it will write multiple lines at once,
resulting in "<14>" prints in the ringbuffer). The main advantage to
this is that we won't have kernel logs cut in half by initramfs logs
anymore, everything will be nicely line buffered!
The previous logging solution of multiple "tail" commands would actually
fail to log up to the last few lines before a crash due to how tail
works (it polls the file and buffers lines).
I attempted something like this before, but I stopped after running into
ratelimiting issues. These are now resolved by configuring the
printk_devkmsg sysctl.
Dropping PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT:
The general motivations behind PMOS_NO_OUTPUT_REDIRECT was to avoid
cluttering up the console with initramfs logs when they aren't wanted;
this is now handled instead by the kernels logging facility. We log to
the ringbuffer at LOGLEVEL_INFO, so if "quiet" is specified on the
cmdline (or the loglevel is otherwise set above info) then initramfs
logs will also not be shown.

We plan to make a lot of changes to the initramfs which will require
incresaing the size. There are some devices that have literally no free
space for this, so make a -minimal initramfs fork that can continue to
support those while we update the regular initramfs.

Add postmarketos-artwork-wallpapers to _pmb_recommends, so Sxmo shows

Set the postmarketOS wallpaper as default for Plasma Mobile and Plasma
Desktop, so we can change it across all UIs with every postmarketOS
release.
It would be nice if we could just set the wallpaper with a simple config
file (reported https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=487816). Until that
is possible, use a shell script as workaround.
Copy the contents dir and metadata.json file explicitly, instead of
copying the entire "meadow" directory. With this change we avoid copying
meadow.svg, which fixes two issues:
* This file doesn't have a stable name, when we switch to the next
wallpaper and the user had selected it, the wallpaper will just be
gone instead of automatically switching to the new wallpaper.
* It shows up as broken wallpaper in Plasma's wallpaper selection.

- Merge pulseaudio and audio-pulse subpkgs
Just general cleanup, there's no reason to have a separate pulseaudio
subpackage now since both were being installed anyways (one indirectly
depended on the other)
- Add 'none' option for audio backend
Some users might not want to have an audio backend installed taking
up disk space. For example they're running a headless server or just
don't want audio I/O, and PA + dependencies, which include mesa(!!)

Note about drop the pulseaudio subpkg and it's "provides="...
This was done in 6e325417, when pmos-base-ui was split off from
pmos-base (3 years ago). I'm not sure how many people are still rocking
a 3yo pmOS install, but the original package (see 92e43e83) was only
pulled in by install_if, so I think the chance that it's in someone's
world file would be really really low.
Sxmo maintainers have decided to stay with OpenRC on postmarketOS. Set
this option, so pmbootstrap doesn't even ask the user if they want to
install Sxmo with systemd. The idea is that users don't end up
reporting issues about this unsupported use case.
Allow this package to be used on systemd installs without pulling in a
bunch of openrc services.
