Only support syslinux now. Grub and other things can still
be managed manually by running mkisofs manually.

As in title, this patch cleans up opt flags that exist for no reason and
adds additional flags to modify the disk meta info which would otherwise
be hardcoded.
I wasn't quite sure about the user directory part but it doesn't seem
like a good idea to put that part into the script and therefore I
commented it out. It would probably interfere with rc.local scripts that
take care of skel copying. I replaced the part after the TODO with a
safe guard to make sure that people who are not aware of the changes
will not be caught by surprise.

Rename ramdisk_size parameter to tmpfs_size to avoid conflict with
the kernel parameter that is for old ramdisk based blockdevs (/dev/ramN)
and confusion to users.
The kernel parameter ramdisk_size=N is in "N * k size", while tmpfs
size=N is in "N * [ k | m | g ] byte size" or "in N% of RAM",
like is used by default on archiso.
This parameter is used only for tmpfs in size option.

Check if there are any modification of files/directories inside
the target directory for squashfs image.
Implements in some way this item in TODO:
* Add 'needsupdate' function to check if a squashfs image in the
iso dir is up to date, if so, skip it; else rebuild it. No more
need for the -f flag

Implement this feature request:
FS#16835 - isomounts file whithin archiso hook is inflexible
Add an optional "isomounts" kernel command line parameter.
In this way, can have differents combinations of
kernels/ramdisk/filesystems.sqfs on the same media.

The current implementation in how partition is created for ext2 img
it looks a bit bad.
This patch makes the partition in more standarized way, respecting
cylinder alignement:
* The size of resulting image will be in cylinder multiple ~8MB.
* Use fdisk instead of sfdisk (sfdisk write some bad information)
* Make the result image in one pass, instead of concatenating.
Also the advantage is that with this can add another partitions
without any issues in the usb-flash-drive with this .img.

fstype from klibc don't detect a vfat formatted blockdevice when try to
mount /dev/archiso to /bootmnt. Some users don't use the recommened
method with dd to bring the image to their USB stick. If they for ex.
use Unetbootin to put the iso image on their (v)fat formatted stick they
got lost with a kernel panic cause fstype won't detect vfat, so the
mount and the later squashfs bindings traps.

This will generate a label ARCHISO_$randomstring using the pwgen
utility and add this label to the kernel command line.
A new label will be generated for each image, so it can be uniquely
identified.

If the archisolabel= option is specified on the kernel commandline,
a device /dev/archiso will be created and will be used to boot the

This should give us *just a bit* more delay before actually trying to do
things with the usb devices. Annoying, but will probably be effective
Signed-off-by: Aaron Griffin <aaronmgriffin@gmail.com>
USB boot delay is now handled with the usbdelay kernel param (default=0)
We use the built in delay of usb-storage to control this. by setting the
module's delay param. If your USB device doesn't work on first boot, try
setting usbdelay=10 or so

It seems udev trigger/settle doesn't do what we expect,
so we'll add functionality for the rootdelay param back
in here.
This should help fix FS#12896

This is a hacky way to mount squashfs images at directories
other than the root. We mount the image to a loop device
and then bind it to another directory.
This technically supersedes the 'bind' image type, so that
should be removed...
