Occasionally people report problem with reboot/poweroff operations hanging in
the middle. One known cause is when a new transaction to start a unit is
enqueued while the shutdown is going on. The start of the unit conflicts with
the shutdown jobs, so they get cancelled. The failure case can be quite unpleasant,
becase getty and sshd may already be stopped.
Fix it by using irreversible jobs for shutdown (reboot/poweroff/...) actions.
This applies to commands like "reboot", "telinit 6", "systemctl reboot". Should
someone desire to use reversible jobs, they can say "systemctl start reboot.target".`
Add a new job mode: replace-irreversibly. Jobs enqueued using this mode
cannot be implicitly canceled by later enqueued conflicting jobs.
They can however still be canceled with an explicit "systemctl cancel"
call.
"systemctl default" should behave identically to "telinit N" (where N is the
corresponding runlevel target number), therefore it should use isolate job mode
too.
Documentation states that 0 is correct, and all other
similar functions return 0 on success.

In systemd-bootchart, the disk model information will not be found
unless the root device is specified using `root=/dev/sdxY` on the kernel
line. Just add a note as to why this doesn't happen.

Turning off filtering with --filter is just too confusing.
Config option "Filter" doesn't have to be changed, here
"Filter=yes" already meant to filter.
This makes 'status' behave like 'list-units':
systemctl status -> status of all units
systemctl -t error status -> status of error units
systemctl -t mount status -> etc.
It is not really necessary to have a hard requirement dependency on
systemd-journald.socket in almost every unit. The socket gets pulled
into boot via at least two ways:
sockets.target -> systemd-journald.socket
sysinit.target -> systemd-journald.service -> systemd-journald.socket
So just assume something pulled the socket in and drop the automatic
requirement dependencies on it.
"systemctl stop systemd-journald.socket" will now not take the whole
system down with it.
journald is supposed to work. Failure to connect to its socket implies
losing messages. It should be a very unusual event. Log the failure with
LOG_CRIT.
Just because this unit's stdout/stderr failed to connect to the journal
does not necessarily mean that we shouldn't try to log the failure using
a structured entry, so let's use log_struct_unit.
Almost every unit logs to the journal. If journald gets a permanent
failure, units would not be able to start (exit code 209/STDOUT).
Add a fallback to /dev/null to avoid making the system entirely
unusable in such a case.
write_to_journal() returns 0 if journal_fd is closed and nothing is
written. We need to make sure we'll try log_open_kmsg() then to make the
fallback work for "journal-or-kmsg".
