[ Steve Langasek ] * hooks/resume: cherry-pick patch from upstream git to fix auto-configuration of resume devices that are on LVM; always refer to them by name, never by UUID. LP: #1768230. [ Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo ] * Do not include graphical drivers when FRAMEBUFFER is not set.

In some systems with low memory, that would even prevent systems to boot. kdump, for example, had an impact. [Test case] Different systems on different arches were tested. When cryptsetup (or cryptsetup-initramfs) was installed, framebuffer drivers were included in the ramdisk. When not installed, the initramfs was smaller. Systems booted on both cases. Systems with encrypted disks were tested as well. [Regression Potential] Systems may not boot because of missing drivers. Users may have a different experience during boot because of missing "framebuffer" drivers. ================== initramfs-tools ignores the FRAMEBUFFER option. This means that the framebuffer hook will always include the drm modules, regardless of whether it is dealing with an encrypted system or not.
