Silly nixpkgs mirror, totally harmless :3

The reason to patch QEMU is that with latest Nix, tests like "printing" or "misc" fail because they expect the store paths to be owned by uid 0 and gid 0. Starting with NixOS/nix@5e51ffb1c2, Nix builds inside of a new user namespace. Unfortunately this also means that bind-mounted store paths that are part of the derivation's inputs are no longer owned by uid 0 and gid 0 but by uid 65534 and gid 65534. This in turn causes things like sudo or cups to fail with errors about insecure file permissions. So in order to avoid that, let's make sure the VM always gets files owned by uid 0 and gid 0 and does a no-op when doing a chmod on a store path. In addition, this adds a virtualisation.qemu.program option so that we can make sure that we only use the patched version if we're *really* running NixOS VM tests (that is, whenever we have imported test-instrumentation.nix). Tested against the "misc" and "printing" tests. Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@redmoonstudios.org> |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
