Public bug reported:
Somehow recently the default kernel config for kernel 4.6 was changed
from CONFIG_UNIX=y to CONFIG_UNIX=m.
This however prevents systems with full disk encryption to start
properly, as the lvm encryption tools require unix sockets during set-up
in the initrd.
The proper fix would either be to restore CONFIG_UNIX=y or to force the
unix.ko module to always be included (and loaded) in the initrd. The
latter is likely to be the better approach, thus filing this against
initramfs-tools.
