Since the kernel no longer exposes a large number of "dead" loop devices
it is OK to expose them now in systemd, so let's do that. This has the
benefit that mount dependencies on loop devices start to work.
Much like for rfkill devices we should provide some stability regarding
enumeration order, hence include the stable bits of the device path in
the file name we store settings under.
Let's include the stable device path for the rfkill devices in the name
of the file we store the rfkill state in, so that we have some stability
regarding enumeration order.
As many laptops don't save/restore screen brightness across reboots,
let's do this in systemd with a minimal tool, that restores the
brightness as early as possible, and saves it as late as possible. This
will cover consoles and graphical logins, but graphical desktops should
do their own per-user stuff probably.
This only touches firmware brightness controls for now.
Otherwise, when a network device is renamed, systemd-sysctl is run twice
with the same network device name: once for ACTION="add" and once for
ACTION="move".
/dev/md0 appears as soon as the first component of the raid array is
added by incremental assembly rules. This is too early for systemd to
attempt to mount the device. The device should be considered plugged
after the raid array becomes active.

We finally got the OK from all contributors with non-trivial commits to
relicense systemd from GPL2+ to LGPL2.1+.
Some udev bits continue to be GPL2+ for now, but we are looking into
relicensing them too, to allow free copy/paste of all code within
systemd.
The bits that used to be MIT continue to be MIT.
The big benefit of the relicensing is that closed source code may now
link against libsystemd-login.so and friends.
