    Hmm. Current init.c have check >= 2.2.0 kernel one time too.
    Ok. Last patch removed this point and move common init code to new file for
    /init dir

2c1de61023 There have been many reports of init failing to reboot and/or failing to halt
over the years.  Well I finally took the time to track this down.  It turns out
that inside linux/kernel/sys.c the kernel will call
    machine_halt();
    do_exit(0);
when halting, or will call
    machine_power_off();
    do_exit(0);

during a reboot.  Unlike sysv init, we call reboot from within the init
process, so if the call to machine_halt() or machine_power_off() returns,                                       the call to do_exit(0) will cause the kernel to panic.  Which is a very
bad thing to happen.

So I just added this little patch to fork and call the reboot
syscall from within the forked child process, thereby neatly
avoiding the problem.

But IMHO, both calls to do_exit(0) within linux/kernel/sys.c
are bugs and should be fixed.

e8a90fb2bc After thinking about it, I think this patch from Matt Kraai is probably the
best way to go.  Sysvinit does not provide a controlling tty since it doesn't
even try to open ttys for apps.  We do.  So we should _try_ to provide a
controlling tty if possible, but we needn't freak out if it doesn't work.  This
way we won't need to use openvt or similar, we'll just have init do the Right
Thing(tm).

a920871c3a Ignoring SIGCHLD causes a race leading to the occasional hang of init
when init will wait() on itself in waitfor() when the child exits before
init is scheduled to run.  Letting init hang is very seriously bad.

599e3ce163 Apply last_patch47 from vodz to fix several problems, such as the ash "job

descriptor, setsid() inconsistancy, and silly string handling bugs.   I have
modified his patch to allow the askfirst init actions to have a controlling
terminal.

1644db9a2b Two patches from Magick <magick@linux-fan.com>:
1st makes init smaller, and fixes a bug with AskFirst. Reading from
    /dev/null gives EOF.
    2nd makes init run the command's in the order of inittab, as in
    FIFO instead of LIFO.

04095e58fb Move messages.c to libbb. Make each string in messages.c be its own .o file.
This way, we can new get rid of all that tedious #define rubbish we used to
need to enable specific messages.  This way is enormously simpler, and as a
bonus also ends up saving us 96 bytes.
