The VirtualBox build in Nixpkgs is insecure because it uses the
"--disable-hardened" flag, which disables some checks in the
VirtualBox kernel module. Since getting rid of that flag looks like
too much work, it's better to ensure that only explicitly permitted
users have access to VirtualBox.
* Drop the 666 permission on "sonypi" because it's not clear why that
device should be world-writable.

It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
firmware. Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

modprobe.
* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

from udev rules. This is slightly tricky because udev has a
512-character limit on environment variables, so we create a symlink
tree to work around this.

it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon
as udev is running and devices become available (i.e. it doesn't
have to wait for all devices). This means that some jobs should
depend on "stopped udevtrigger" instead of "started udev".

to use the standard (coreutils) tools.
* Use util-linux's `switch_root' to switch over to the target root
FS. It automatically moves over the /dev, /proc and /sys from stage
1, so stage 2 doesn't need to set them up again.

supplied by the lvm package). This makes the "lvm" Upstart task
unnecessary. Also, we now get /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid} symlinks
for LVM logical disks.

Otherwise the ntpd job won't be triggered.

is "ready". This prevents ugly race conditions, e.g. HAL failing to
start because dbus hasn't finished starting yet.
* Support post-start scripts. These are executed after the job's main
process has started but before the job's "started" event is
emitted. For instance, the udev job uses this to perform "udevadm
trigger / settle" to create all devices. Previously this had to be
done in the pre-start script, so the daemon had to started in the
pre-start script as well.

restarted, it now asks ConsoleKit to get the active users and sets
device ACLs accordingly.

sndMode option (udev puts all audio devices in the "audio" group, so
users can be added to that group if necessary).

those that run daemons) to modules/services. This probably broke
some things since there are a few relative paths in modules
(e.g. imports of system/ids.nix).
* Moved some PAM modules out of etc/pam.d to the directories of NixOS
modules that use them.
