like `build-vm', but boots using the regular boot loader (i.e. GRUB
1 or 2) rather than booting directly from the kernel/initrd. Thus
it allows testing of GRUB.

build hook uses this directory to store temporary GC roots. (It
creates it if it doesn't exist, but it's better to do it here as
well to ensure the right ownership and permissions.)
* Clear /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp and /nix/var/nix/temproots at boot
time.

we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device
to be set to "nodev" to indicate that the GRUB menu should be
generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added
to each GRUB menu entry (in this case, "root (hd0)").

screws up the X server (CPU usage goes to 100%, switching virtual
consoles no longer works, etc.). TODO: we need some generic way to
mark jobs that shouldn't be started automatically.

shutdown. (Portmap and statd are needed during shutdown to unmount
NFS volumes but have open files in /var/run.)
* In the shutdown job, don't kill PIDs belonging to Upstart jobs that
are still running. If they don't stop on the "starting shutdown"
event, then they're needed during shutdown (such as portmap and
statd).
* NFS test: test whether the shutdown quickly unmounts NFS volumes
(i.e. whether portmap and statd are still running).

`su'.
* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.

the current configuration don't match the running kernel. This
ensures that modprobe still works after a "nixos-rebuild switch" to
a configuration that has a different kernel version.

GRUB version changes. (That's the complete version from the name
attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.) The current
version is recorded in /boot/grub/version. This is required to
prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

qemu_kvm. Installation doesn't take place yet. VM is started
printing a remote controlled "Hello".
This serves as example how to run a vm within a bulid job.

unmounted or at least remounted read-only during shutdown. Upstart
0.6 apparently uses nscd to do some name lookups, resulting in it
holding some mmap mappings to deleted files in /var/run/nscd.
E.g. lsof shows:
init 1 root DEL REG 253,0 1850313 /var/run/nscd/dbyn3Piz
init 1 root DEL REG 253,0 1850312 /var/run/nscd/dbt2e8PH
See also http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=324900.
This is a workaround - it would be better if Upstart didn't do this.

recursiveUpdate function. Undefined the obsolete name of
boot.grubDevice to avoid conflicts.

with an empty password, rather than with a hashed empty password.
The latter is a security risk, because it allows remote root logins
if a user enables sshd before setting a proper root password.
* Allow empty passwords for login and slim, but nothing else.

* Renamed some of the new Grub options to more sensible names
(e.g. extraGrubEntries to extraEntries, bootMount to bootDevice,
etc.).

grub. Its options are no more inside 'boot', but inside 'boot.loader.grub'.
I added a new bootloader configuration for nixos, generationsDir. It creates
/boot/default/{init,initrd,kernel,system} symlinks, and the same for the generations
in /boot/system-$gen/{init,initrd,kernel,system}.
I can program the u-boot loader to load /boot/default files always, and have
a minimal nixos boot loader installer functionality. Additionally, I can refer
to the other system generations easily, with a simple 'ls' in /boot.

into a NixOS module (modules/system/activation/top-level.nix -
couldn't think of a better name). The top-level derivation is
returned in config.system.build.system.
* Inlined system.sh in top-level.nix so that we don't have to pass
everything through environment variables.
