kernel: Fix running kernels *with* modules
Pull request #38470 added support for running/building kernels without
modules. This got merged in 38e04bbf29 but
unfortunately while this works perfectly on kernels without modules it
also makes sure that *every* kernel gets no modules.

So all of our VM tests fail since that merge with something like this:

machine# loading module loop...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module loop not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33
machine# loading module vfat...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module vfat not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33
machine# loading module nls_cp437...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module nls_cp437 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33
machine# loading module nls_iso8859-1...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module nls_iso8859-1 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33
machine# loading module fuse...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33
machine# loading module dm_mod...
machine# modprobe: FATAL: Module dm_mod not found in directory /lib/modules/4.14.33

I shortly tested this against the "misc" VM test and the test is working
again.

In the long term (and I currently don't have time for this) it would be
better to also have a VM test which tests a kernel without modules.

0d9f2f0bb4 platforms.nix: Clean up more 'uboot' legacy
For a while now, the only thing the 'uboot' attribute does is to tell
whether to add ubootTools to kernel/initrd builds. That can be
determined with platform.kernelTarget == "uImage" just as well.

5a8147479e make-initrd: create reproducible initrds
To achieve reproducible results, `cpio` archive members are added in
sorted order and inodes renumbered.

The `cpio-clean.pl` script is made obsolete by setting mtimes via
`touch` & using `cpio --reproducible`.  Suggested by @dezgeg in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/21273#issuecomment-268116605.

Note that using `--reproducible` means that initial ramdisk creation now
requires at least `cpio` version 2.12 (released in 2015).

1abdc56a12 Synchronized stdenv-updates branch with trunk.
There were conflicting patches of pkgs/os-specific/linux/module-init-tools.
Apparently, the expression was updated independently in both branches. I've
resolved the conflict by preferring the patches from stdenv-updates, because
those patches appeared to be more sophisticated, i.e. they build the manual,
etc.

11aa65c28a Simplified much more the expressions for cross building and multiplatform.
I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.

I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.

This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.

The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).

I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.

I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.

Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.

The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).

The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

58e6161768 * addCoverageInstrumentation: factor out the code that keeps the build
tree under $out into a separate stdenv adapter named keepBuildTree.

  been compiled with coverage instrumentation.

16da00e64d * Doh! Since r15200, modules-closure.sh generated an empty set of
modules for the initial ramdisk if there were no additional kernel
  module packages (such as the NVIDIA driver or AUFS), leading to a
  kernel panic in the initrd.  This was because in that case modprobe
  would print paths referring to the kernel path rather than the
  module aggregation path, and then `sed "s^$kernel^$out^"' would
  silently fail.  Fixed.

* Also, use depmod here rather than doing sed hackery on modules.dep.

* Also, `allowMissing' was broken (missing "$" before the variable
  name).
