USR1 signal before it has forked into the background (because it
will be in the start/running state immediately).

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

were redirecting output to /var/log/upstart/<job>, so it didn't work
properly.
* mountall-ip-up: send the USR1 signal to the mountall process by
looking up its PID, rather than doing "pkill -USR1 mountall". This
prevents a very subtle race condition where USR1 is delivered to a
child process of mountall (such as fsck), if pkill sees the child
just before its execve(). There is actually still a race condition
because mountall installs its USR1 handler *after* daemonising, so
mountall-ip-up could accidentally kill mountall. Should report this
to upstream.

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

longer compares the current configuration to the previous
configuration, but instead compares the current Upstart state to the
intended state. Thus, if the switch script is interrupted, running
nixos-rebuild again will resume starting/stopping Upstart jobs where
the previous run left off.
We determine if an Upstart job has changed by having the pre-start
script of each Upstart job put a symlink to its .conf file in
/var/run/upstart-jobs. So if this symlink differs from the target
of /etc/init/<job>.conf, then the job has changed. This also
prevents multiple restarts of dependent jobs. E.g., if job B has
"start on started A" and "stop on stopping A", then restarting A
will cause B to be restarted, so B shouldn't B restarted a second
time.
We only start jobs that are not running if 1) they're tasks that
have been previously run (like mountall); or 2) they're jobs that
have a "start on" condition. This seems a reasonable heuristic.

starts the given job and waits until it's running; "stop_check"
checks that the current job hasn't been asked to stop.

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.

Note: This feature is INCOMPLETE. Moreover, when runEfibootmgr is true it will
MODIFY NVRAM and, on Apple systems, possibly brick your firmware. PLEASE be
careful while further testing is performed

This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.

I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare
their nixos first, and I don't think it will break any nixos for the initrd
size increase.
It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

Upstart won't find a "bash" binary in $PATH when those commands are run, so we
refer to it using an absolute path.

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.

The check was intened for building the initrd of the installer.
