that udevd passes its own environment variables, but this is not the
case.)
* Get rid of some udev rule hacks that no longer seem needed.

problem is that configuration values below a mkIf are evaluated
strictly even if the condition is false. Thus "${luksRoot}" causes
an evaluation error. As a workaround, use the empty string instead
of `null' as the default value. However, we should really fix the
laziness of mkIf. It's likely that NixOS evaluation would be much
faster if it didn't have to evaluate disabled configuration values.

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.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

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.

root=... kernel command line parameter, instead of hard-coding it in
`fileSystems'. This is to allow CD-to-USB converters such as
UNetbootin to rewrite the kernel command line to the label or UUID
of the USB stick.

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)").

As a result, `cdrom_id' doesn't print
ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_DATA, which in turn prevents the
/dev/disk/by-label symlinks from being created. We need these in
the NixOS installation CD, so use ID_CDROM_MEDIA in the
corresponding udev rules for now. This was the behaviour in udev <=
154. See also

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).

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.

By default, they take the usual value of "50% of physical RAM".
As /dev/shm can be filled by anyone, and tmpfs does not trigger the OOM killer (and
can hang the machine due to a lack of RAM), I need to configure that down
in order to avoid crashes.
There is still left the /var/run/nscd tmpfs filesystem, also created with 50%
of the RAM, but at least not writeable by anyone. We could find a reasonable
low value for that, or allow configuration.
