0 can be a valid index returned by the BIOS, so allow that by using the
parsing function safe_atolu() to check for errors without excluding the
valid value "0".

We use strtoul() which returns an "unsigned long", but then assign this
to int or unsigned in, i.e. drop 32bit silently on 64bit systems. Let's
clean this up a bit, and retain the right types.
This effectively reverts 2bc54be485
and relevant changes in #9920, as it is used to determine the version
of udev, e.g., dracut.
Fixesdracutdevs/dracut#468.
Both 'systemd-hwdb update' and 'udevadm hwdb --update' creates hwdb
database. The database created by systemd-hwdb containes additional
information such that priority, line number, and source filename.
The unified function 'hwdb_update()' can take a flag 'compat' which
controls the format version of created database.
In older kernels IPoIB network devices expose the port number via
the sysfs attribute 'dev_id', which is not intended to be used this way.
Let's support both options for a while.
An InfiniBand network address is 20 bytes long. Only the least
significant 8 bytes can be interpreted as a persistent hardware unit
identifier; the other 12 are transiently derived at runtime from metadata
specific to the protocol stack.
However, since the network interface name length is hard-capped by
IFNAMSIZ at 16 chars and the 2-byte type prefix with '\0' at the end
leave us only at 13, we cannot squeeze a descriptive representation of a
HW address into an interface name. Thus, it makes the most sense to drop
the scheme for IPoIB interfaces entirely.
Currently udev just gets confused and does what it has been taught
to do: fetches the first six bytes and puts them into a permanent
device attribute.
We've long neglected IP-over-InfiniBand network interfaces, let's treat
them the same way we treat anyone else.
IPoIB interfaces will retain the 'ib' prefix; otherwise the naming scheme
is the same one we use for other network interfaces. E.g. a IPoIB network
device provided by a PCI card at bus 21 slot 0 function 6 will be named
'ibp21s0f6'.
