fc9a01e713 Remove archiso_early hook, use /dev/disk/by-label/${archisolabel} instead.
Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.

Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.

IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)

b7ca4bf281 Rename archiso-early hook to archiso_early
To make compatible with disablehooks= param. Since "hook_archiso-early"
is not a valid variable name.

8a37489379 Advanced USB delay handling
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
