Operator-ratified full retirement — driver-manager superseded
pcid-spawner in every role (boot-time PCI match/claim/spawn, initfs
storage path, hotplug). Removes:
- drivers/pcid-spawner/ crate (source preserved in git history)
- init.d/00_pcid-spawner.service and
init.initfs.d/40_pcid-spawner-initfs.service
- Cargo workspace member + Makefile bin entries
- 40_drivers.target reference to pcid-spawner-initfs
- the /etc/driver-manager.d/disabled fallback gates on driver-manager
services (no fallback exists anymore; driver-manager runs
unconditionally)
40_drivers.target referenced only pcid-spawner-initfs, so the initfs
driver-manager service (staged, gated, with its storage TOML and the
binary already copied into initfs/bin) never entered the boot graph.
The target now lists driver-manager-initfs first and keeps
pcid-spawner-initfs as the gated fallback — the initfs cutover is
complete. Also correct the initfs-storage.toml header comment (the
content is driver-manager format).
Per local/docs/PATCH-PRESERVATION-AUDIT-2026-07-12.md the base
fork was carrying only 38 of 100 patches in local/patches/base/.
The other 62 patches' content was silently missing from the fork
working tree, even though their .patch files were preserved.
This commit re-applies 41 patches that genuinely still apply
cleanly + 17 hunks that partially applied. Recovery covers:
- D-Bus initfs service wiring (P4-initfs-dbus-services)
- USB service wiring (P4-initfs-usb-drm-services)
- netcfg/dhcp/dhcpv6 driver fixes
- acpid shutdown/PM/quirk fixes
- inputd/ps2d hard-fail logging
- pcid driver interface refinements (server cmd channel)
- virtio-core for VirtualBox support
- ixgbed/rtl8139/rtl8168 net drivers
- ahcid NCQ + per-function interrupt coalescing
- logd persistent logging
- bootstrap procmgr race-condition fixes
- cargo version pin to +rb0.3.0 (synchronized release branch)
58 files changed, +1444/-318 lines.
Untracked mnt/ tree and *.orig / *.rej files cleaned up after
patch application (leftover from absolute-path patch headers).
