qemu-vm: Add option to create empty disk images.
This allows to add additional raw disk images to the VM, which therein are
available as /dev/vdb, /dev/vdc, /dev/vde and so on. Especially when testing
partitioning, this could be useful.

Eelco Dolstra 7a382679e4 Revert 434260c772
There is a bug in unionfs, but it only manifested itself because of
our accidental use of stage-1 libraries in stage-2.

Eelco Dolstra ef5108f560 Fix registering valid paths in VM tests
Commit 37b56574e2 revealed that the code
to get regInfo from /proc/cmdline was broken.  It only happened to
work because the kernel passes the command line to stage 1 through the
environment, so $regInfo was set anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 434260c772 Work around a bug in unionfs
Unionfs cannot delete directories that contain open deleted files.
This broke a Nix test.

Eelco Dolstra fc14a31f2c unionfs: Increase the open file limit
The default (1024) is way too low, e.g. to start KDE on the
installation CD.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 3e734ba695 Qemu says 'boot=on' is deprecated, so I try a half-fix here
I change the 'build-vm' to use '-boot menu=on', so a menu displays and allows
choosing the 2nd hd. Otherwise, I don't know how to boot from a 2nd hd.

      }
    ];

Eelco Dolstra 1c53b2e299 Don't flush addresses unless necessary
Flushing is bad if the Nix store is on a remote filesystem accessed
over that interface.

http://hydra.nixos.org/build/3184162

Also added a interface option ‘prefixLength’ as a better alternative
to ‘subnetMask’.

Eelco Dolstra 9692495df0 Use BusyBox in the initrd
Using BusyBox instead of Bash plus a bunch of other tools gives us a
much more feature-full, yet smaller initrd.  In particular, BusyBox
contains networking commands such as ip and a DHCP client, useful for
NFS boots.  It's also much more convenient for rescue situations
because the shell has builtin readline support and there are many more
tools (including vi).

Peter Simons 20b364f4de Reverting revisions 30103-30106: "always set nixpkgs.config.{state,store}Dir", etc.
After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

Eelco Dolstra 796b48c367 * Run smbd in its own session / process group (setsid) because smbd
now kills its process group when it exits.  Without setsid, this
  ends up killing the parent (i.e., the builder).
* Use port 445 instead of 139 because the CIFS kernel module tries
  port 445 first.  If there is an actual Samba running on the host, it
  would end up connecting to that one instead of our own and fail.
