Download 755.patch

The size of the initrd is becoming an issue on existing installations
that have a small /boot partition.

See: https://github.com/fedora-silverblue/issue-tracker/issues/676

So let's drop a few dracut modules that are not using from the initrd to
save on space in /boot:

  • fips & fips-crypto-policies: FIPS is not supported on Fedora
    See: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RemoveFipsModeSetup
    See: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/bootc/fips-crypto-policies/
  • lunmask: Do not include support from booting from a LUN SAS devices as this is
    not commonly used on laptops and desktops
  • memstrack: memstrack is for debug and development
  • modsign: We don't include kernel module keys in the initrd
  • nss-softokn: NSS is not included in the initrd

I'll post before/after sizes for comparison.
