dracut [PATCH] Parameter expansion occurs before command evaluation.

Bash shell expands all ${parameter} before evaluating a command. For multiple declarations and assignments within the same 'local' command, then new variables or new values that appear towards the left do not affect parameter expansion towards the right.

Subject: [PATCH] Parameter expansion occurs before command evaluation.

${parameter} on the right is expanded before evaluating "local var=value" on the left.
