It's been a while.

This release adds a couple new config options and a bug fix. See buildkernel.conf for more details.

• Different compression algorithms for the initramfs. (via COMPRESSINITRAMFS_TYPE)
• Allow building the kernel with Clang and/or LTO. (via USE_CLANG and CLANG_LTO)
• Prevent dracut from adding early microcode to initramfs fixing an issue where the unpack_initramfs_dracut would fail if the early microcode wasn't added. (The early microcode would get discarded anyway.)

(This release has been re-released to address Issue #1)

Pre-release 2: Electric Boogaloo

This version changes a far amount from the previous pre-release, which
include.

• Changed all references of genkernel to dracut in documentation.

• Removed unused genkernel code from script.

• Decided to let the script create the entire kernel cmdline instead of
  letting dracut handle it via --hostonly.

• The script will also automatically add rootflags to the kernel cmdline,
  because I primarily use btrfs with / being in a seperate subvolume.

• Removed the need to install staticgpg since I haven't ran into issues with
  dracut's crypt-gpg module yet.

Initial attempt to replace genkernel with dracut.

This is by no means a stable release, but it works at least from my initial testing from my current setup.

A few things to note though.

• A fair amount of code in the script is now unused because I'm using dracut's
  --host-only to generate the necessary kernel commands for mounting the
  root device, so the only extra commands I add to the kernel cmdline is
  rd.luks.key="the luks-key.gpg location":UUID="keyfile's partition uuid",
  and quiet splash to get plymouth working.

• The manpages have not been updated.
