`extraEntriesBeforeNixOS', but then you can't have entries *after*
the main entry anymore.)

caching. This makes a huge performance difference (e.g. from 4 MB/s
`dd' throughput to 140 MB/s on the Hydra machines). As the QEMU
manual says: "Some block drivers perform badly with
‘cache=writethrough’, most notably, qcow2."

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).

it allows the `mountall' task to start mounting filesystems as soon
as udev is running and devices become available (i.e. it doesn't
have to wait for all devices). This means that some jobs should
depend on "stopped udevtrigger" instead of "started udev".

during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.
* The ‘filesystems’ and ‘swap’ Upstart jobs are gone. (Support for
encrypted swap devices is temporarily gone.)
* Generate a proper /etc/fstab from the ‘fileSystems’ and
‘swapDevices’ options.

* The `usermod' from `shadow' allows setting a supplementary group
equal to the user's primary group, so the special hack for the
`nixbld' group is no longer needed.
* Removed /etc/default/passwd since it's not used by the new passwd.
The hash is configured in pam_unix.
* Move some values for `security.setuidPrograms' and
`security.pam.services' to the appropriate modules.
