I.e., modules that use "require = [options]". Nowadays that should be
written as
{
options = { ... };
config = { ... };
};
Also, use "imports" instead of "require" in places where we actually
import another module.
- Renamed system.build.menuBuilder to system.build.installBootLoader.
- ‘install-grub.pl’ (formerly grub-menu-builder.pl) now generates the
GRUB menu *and* installs GRUB (if necessary).
- ‘switch-to-configuration.sh’ has no boot loader specific knowledge
anymore. It just calls installBootLoader.
* Change the name of the top-level derivation from "system" to
"nixos-<version>".
* Show the NixOS version in the GRUB boot menu instead of the kernel
version.

slow: calling basename in a loop somewhere has a noticable impact on
performance. We really shouldn't use bash scripts.

init script. This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough. However, the GRUB menu
builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
for compatibility with old configurations.

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".

* Replace an obscure piece of code by its equivalent based on the
recursiveUpdate function. Undefined the obsolete name of
boot.grubDevice to avoid conflicts.

* 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.
