+ * This plugin integrates the Plymouth boot splash screen with Finit.
+ * It manages the plymouthd lifecycle across the full boot process:
+ *
+ *  - HOOK_BANNER:      Start plymouthd early, before console output.
+ *                      In initramfs, starts fresh.  In stage 2, reuses
+ *                      the daemon carried over from initramfs if alive.
+ *  - HOOK_ROOTFS_UP .. HOOK_SYSTEM_UP: Display status messages.
+ *  - HOOK_SVC_UP:      Tear down plymouth once boot is complete.
+ *  - HOOK_SWITCH_ROOT: Notify plymouth of root filesystem change so
+ *                      the daemon survives the initramfs -> rootfs
+ *                      transition.
+ *  - HOOK_SHUTDOWN:    Restart plymouthd in shutdown mode for a
+ *                      splash during poweroff/reboot.
+ *
+ * The plugin is only activated when "splash" is present on the kernel
+ * command line.  Plymouth requires devpts for VT takeover; fs_init()
+ * mounts it early enough for HOOK_BANNER.
+ *
+ * NOTE: The initramfs must include /etc/initrd-release.  Plymouth
+ * checks for this file and, when present, prefixes its argv[0] with
+ * '@' so that the process is not killed during switch_root.  Without
+ * it, plymouthd will not survive the initramfs-to-rootfs transition.
