9704472d1c Some hacks to support clean shutdowns of VMs that mount the Nix store
ove QEMU (and other NixOS instances that use a remote filesystem like
NFS):

* Don't take down the network interfaces during shutdown.
* Don't try to unmount the Nix store.  Usually, this doesn't work
  because it's still in use, but on remote filesystems like CIFS the
  `-f' umount flag actually works.

0b39f614e9 * Don't wait for CIFS "devices" (//share/path) to appear since they
won't.  This speeds up booting from CIFS a lot.

0f6d7c8862 * Use insmod from module_init_tools in the initrd, since the latest
klibc no longer has it.

da77a6437f * qemu-vm.nix: automatically create and initialise the disk image if
it doesn't already exist.  Also set up some ad hoc port forwarding
  from the host to the guest.

9460a30851 * Use the fileSystems option to mount the host filesystem. Also, it
seems that mount.cifs isn't actually needed (anymore?).

16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

f9cfe7c4ee * The activation script can't use /bin/sh as its interpreter because
it creates the /bin/sh symlink, which may not exist yet (esp. when
  booting from CD).

  path.

98cce35041 * Turn the top-level derivation of a NixOS configuration ("system")
into a NixOS module (modules/system/activation/top-level.nix -
  couldn't think of a better name).  The top-level derivation is
  returned in config.system.build.system.
* Inlined system.sh in top-level.nix so that we don't have to pass
  everything through environment variables.
