In most cases, changing the MAC on a bond manually is wrong. The bonding
module will do it as needed to failover between interfaces, or to get
multiple interfaces to correctly have the same MAC.
We cannot however enforce it, as there are some corner cases where it is
actually valid (hardware that requires specific MAC configuration, like
some quad-port NICs).

The newer bonding code using sysfs does not clearly show the most common
bond parameter: mode
Also include a path to the referenced kernel documentation for the other
settings.

Upstream has clarified via IRC:
- hardcoding /usr/lib/ is an explicit choice. It should NOT consider
$libdir at all.
- The z/Z relabel types should call restorecon, not chcon.
- Whitespace is not allowed in tmpfiles.d/*.conf path entries,
but is allowed in globs results. Fixed quoting of path arguments for
this.

This is the baseline support for tmpfiles.d.
Still missing:
- SELinux relabel, pending upstream clarification
- LIBDIR vs multilib systems, pending upstream clarification
- Whitespace in paths?
- Clean support not implemented
- "x" exclude type not implemented

for it, the user will get errors like:

The commands defined in the extra_commands variable do not depend on
whether the service is stopped or started, so it is valid to run them in
chroot environments.
Also, add a note to the runscript man page about the commands in
extra_commands being able to run whether or not the service is started.

This looks up an option on the kernel command line. For now, itworks on
linux and returns NULL on the bsds, but we are definitely open to
patches for that side.
This reverts commit 06d6701785.
After researching this further, we do need this commit. The other issue
is a bug in fstabinfo which will also need to be fixed.
There are several reasons for going back to this:
- fstabinfo doesn't work with labels in fstab
- when a device is passed to swapon individually, the swap priority from
fstab is not honored.
- We also add the -e option to only activate available swap devices.

The network script had a separate case for handling network interface
dependencies using variables of the form
rc_before/after/use/need/provide_ifname. This is unnecessary since
openrc already supports rc_net_ifname_need/use/before/after/provide.
This commit updates the documentation to use this more generally
supported form.
I was informed that "provide net" should mean that there is network
communication outside the local computer. In this case, the loopback
interface can't "provide net", but there needs to be a way for other
processes to know that the loopback interface is active.
To this end, this commit makes the loopback "provide lo" and all other
interfaces "provide net".
Previously, the default on linux systems was to not set the hardware
clock to match the system clock during shutdown.
This changes that default to be consistent with *bsd and swclock.
The clock_hctosys and clock_systohc settings really do not have anything
to do with running an ntp daemon, so remove that reference from the
documentation.

Modify the swap script so it starts before and stops after localmount.
Also, on linux, this script should skip mounting swap on loopback.
Add a swapfiles script which runs after localmount and is designed to
activate additional swap space which could not be activated before
localmount was run. This includes loopback swap on linux and swapfiles
which are on local file systems that were not mounted when swap was
activated initially.
The start code does reactivate swap that is already active, but this is
not an error condition.

(tested with genkernel /usr mount changes);
This adds a --remount/-R option to fstabinfo. This new option works like
--mount, but it adds the necessary options to remount a file system
that is already mounted.

Openrc was quietly loading this file if it existed and this was causing
some issues, so now openrc loads the file and complains about it.
Hopefully the warning message will convince everyone to remove this file
and migrate the settings to @SYSCONFDIR@/rc.conf where they belong.
This reverts commit 6d5a2d5f9e.
There are interfaces, such as adsl and ppp interfaces which need to be
brought down. Also, the WOL setting is a good case for bringingdown
interfaces.
