Well, I could list all bugs found in F12,F13,F14 in the changelog, which are 
also displayed in https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-005-4.fc13
But I cannot list all the RHEL6 bugs.

It's basically a new dracut version, but I tried only to cherry-pick the 
relevant patches of dracut upstream for the bugfixes + known bugs without 
bugzillas + patches needed for the cherry-picking.

It was a decision of:
- backport only the bugfixes + new code to adapt for the backporting (which 
might introduce new bugs)
or
- cherry-picking tested code, which fixes the bugs + tested patches needed for 
the cherry-picking

so I chose the latter and cherry-picked.
