[mkinitcpio] 0.12.0 feature release review

arch-projects has been fairly quietly recently, so here's a patch dump
for interested parties to amuse themselves with. This is what I'm looking
at merging for the next release. Most of it is fairly innocuous and there's
the usual occurences of cleanup and bugfixing, but there's a few things worth
explicitly calling out:

* I'm merging all of the block device build hooks into a single "block"
  hook. So previously, if your array had "pata sata scsi" in it, you
  now can replace all that with "block".  Since this will also include
  things like "usb" and "virtio", there's some nice surprises for people
  who previously had to add these things explicitly.

* Addition of a modconf hook, which will be added by default. Rather
  than have people explicitly add their modprobe.conf (which is no
  longer the "right thing" as per upstream, this hook will just add
  the entirety of /{etc,lib}/modprobe.d to the image. I think this
  is generally the right thing to do as it would be rare that you
  want an option in early userspace and not later, and vice versa.

* Dropping support for /etc/rc.conf. This means that the keymap and
  consolefont hooks will no longer read from /etc/rc.conf, but only
  from /etc/vconsole.conf and /etc/locale.conf. We've been slowly
  dropping this support in other places, and I think it makes sense
  to do this here as well.

* Dropping support for old hook API. No one should really notice this.
  I personally did the work to update the hooks in the repos when I
  introduced the new API several months ago, and I prodded some of
  the hook authors in the AUR to update.

[mkinitcpio] [PATCH 01/18] shutdown: share dm teardown with lvm

lvm is a chatty bitch and wants to tell all its friends about what it's
doing. Mostly this just goes poorly with udev, but now its lvmetad as
well. Use dmsetup as a shortcut and just tear down the volumes without
worrying about the needless accounting.

Guys? GUYS?!?! GUYS IM TEARING STUFF DOWN NOW!!!11!!!111

Fixes FS#32680.

[mkinitcpio] [PATCH 15/18] merge most storage hooks into a single 'block' hook

As the autodetect hook gets better with every kernel release, we can
"afford" to remove the needless segregation of block device driver hooks
and simply merge all the "vanilla" or "unstacked" block device drivers.
This should make a lot of setups, like usb or virtio, easier as you
won't need to remember to add the hook.

[mkinitcpio] [PATCH 18/18] selectively decompress modules on install

Don't make any assumptions about the compression on modules and scan the

doing nothing when modules are uncompressed, and adds support for
decompression of XZ modules.

This is from 'man vconsole.conf':

The hook looks for variable CONSOLEFONT, though. This should be just 'FONT',
no?
