EC2 instances don't have a console, so it's pointless to start
emergency mode if a mount fails. (This happened to me with an
encrypted filesystem where the key wasn't sent on time using "charon
send-keys".) Better to cross fingers and continue booting.
This is necessary to prevent a race. Udev 197 has a new naming scheme
for network devices, so it will rename (say) eth0 to eno0. This fails
with "error changing net interface name eth0 to eno1: Device or
resource busy" if another process has opened the interface in the
meantime.
This reverts commit 1e741f1572b6793b861e2f9820015475ce339ae0 as it is
unnecessary according to @edolstra, because services.xserver.config from another
module will be merged into the configuration.

This is currently only a very simple implementation which just recurses a list
of heads that get chained together to the right of the corresponding previous
item of the list.
If I forgot about something in the already existing configuration options,
please let me know or if this commit is useless or a duplicate, feel free to
revert. But by looking at implementation before this commit, I only see zaphod
and/or quirky xinerama-like configuration options.

Starting an authenticated root shell is a security hole, so don't do
it by default. The kernel command line parameter
‘initrd.shell_on_fail’ restores the original. (Of course, this only
improves security if you have a password on GRUB to prevent the kernel
command line from being edited by unauthorized users.)
The 'memtest86' package didn't work on any of my machines. 'memtest86plus', on
the other hand, seems to work just fine. Does anyone know why we keep the
seemingly older version around still?
This is especially useful if you want to supply a default XRandR configuration,
where you need multiple "Monitor" sections in order to set properties for
specific CRTCs (if not running in zaphod mode).

The "S|s|single" option is handled by systemd (starting
rescue.target). And the rescue target basically removes the need for
a special debug shell. (Also, there is "systemd.crash_shell=1" for
starting a shell if systemd crashes.)
Also, symlink kbrequest.target to rescue.target as suggested by the
systemd.special manpage. This way, you can start a sulogin rescue
shell by pressing Alt+Up.
