830555f71a [archiso] Add nbd hook, to make posible boot archiso from PXE via a NBD.
nbd (network block device utilities) package is required. This package is in AUR
at this moment: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691
Also mkinitcpio-nfs-utils is required for ipconfig.

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)

c65f463ce3 Welcome back copytoram= option
Fixes FS#17182: copytoram=y does not work with aufs

The solution is simple, just use a directory outside aufs tree.

* If copytoram=y, then another tmpfs is mounted but on /tmpfs.sqfs
* Add a new option: tmpfs_sqfs_size= (default to 75%)
* Lock cdrom drive is not locked if copytoram=y

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

7d7dad06e2 Take advantage of module autoloading when mounting images as loop
* Make first /dev/loop0 device at archiso install hook.
* Remove unneeded losetup, all is done directly via mount.
* Images are now mounted on /tmpfs/mnt/image-name instead of
/tmpfs/mnt/loopN, removing unneeded counter.
* Add some variables to make code more readable.

b880be1ae9 Implement mount hook function in archiso hook.
Next version of mkinitcpio > 0.6.2 implements mount hook functionality.
So can avoid skipping normal flow of main init script, and removing common
end code with it.

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
