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.

Now that we have /dev/.run there's no need to use abstract namespace
sockets. So, let's move things to /dev/.run, to make things more easily
discoverable and improve compat with chroot() and fs namespacing.

This adds support for executing systemctl operations remotely or as
privileged user while still running systemctl itself unprivileged and
locally.

This currently requires a D-Bus patch to work properly.

This merges several separate patches that I carry as part of
Mandriva systemd RPM. They touch those parts that are very
unlikely to be changed in near future and do not impose any
functionality change for systemd core. I also think it is
useful for troubleshooting to have real distribution name in
system logs, espicially when someone reports problem upstream.

The patch looks bigger than sum of replaced patches because

- previous patches were applied on top of distro=fedora, now
I need to add all those bits for distro=mandriva as well

- part of patch was done as spec file magic, but it seems more
logical to ship all these bits together

When we kill a process to terminate it make sure to send SIGCONT to
ensure it is unpaused and processes the signal.

It's nicer if the child process gets reinitialized cleanly instead of
the parent process.

Use them only for systemctl status.
