Instead of the /dev/.run trick we have currently implemented, we decided
to move the early-boot runtime dir to /run.

An existing /var/run directory is bind-mounted to /run. If /var/run is
already a symlink, no action is taken.

An existing /var/lock directory is bind-mounted to /run/lock.
If /var/lock is already a symlink, no action is taken.

To implement the directory vs. symlink logic, we have a:
  ConditionPathIsDirectory=
now, which is used in the mount units.

Skipped mount unit in case of symlink:
  $ systemctl status var-run.mount
  var-run.mount - Runtime Directory
    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/var-run.mount)
    Active: inactive (dead)
            start condition failed at Fri, 25 Mar 2011 04:51:41 +0100; 6min ago
     Where: /var/run
      What: /run
    CGroup: name=systemd:/system/var-run.mount

The systemd rpm needs to make sure to add something like:
  %pre
  mkdir -p -m0755 /run >/dev/null 2>&1 || :
or it needs to be added to filesystem.rpm.

Udev -git already uses /run if that exists, and is writable at bootup.
Otherwise it falls back to the current /dev/.udev.

Dracut and plymouth need to be adopted to switch from /dev/.run to run
too.

Some architectures support multiple machine types with diffenent
page sizes, and some machine types even support multiple
page sizes themselves.

syslog: rework syslog detection so that we need no compile-time option what the name of the syslog implementation is

No need to define the same set of properties twice. While on it,
add FsckPassNo to introspection.

This actually adjust the __NR_fanotify* system call numbers to proper
ones on mips(according userspace ABI).

It is no more error when service is not running.

Commit 099663ff added "b" as a
recognized argument, however, B is not a runlevel like S. (B appears
as a pseudo runlevel in openSUSE's init.d scripts only for the sake of
insserv being able to manage /etc/init.d/boot.d like the other dirs).
