This update for dracut fixes the following issues: Security issues fixed: - CVE-2016-8637: When the early microcode loading was enabled during initrd creation, the initrd would be read-only available for all users, allowing local users to retrieve secrets stored in the initial ramdisk. Non security issues fixed: - Remove zlib module as requirement. - Unlimit TaskMax for xfs_repair in emergency shell. - Resolve symbolic links for -i and -k parameters. - Enhance purge-kernels script to handle kgraft patches. - Allow booting from degraded MD arrays with systemd. - Allow booting on s390x with fips=1 on the kernel command line. - Start multipath services before local-fs-pre.target. - Fix /sbin/installkernel to handle kernel packages built with "make bin-rpmpkg"
