* Register a mount_hook if booted via PXE. This allows to do all needed
steps before and after calling archiso_mount_handler.
* umount and disconnect network device if copytoram=y

The purpose of this script is to setup a basic PXE server enviroment
from Arch Linux live-media. Only need to setup an ip address in the
machine and launch it. Booting all machines conected to the network
via PXE will boot Arch Linux Live media :)

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 added dnsmasq pkg, so the live-medium, appart of support booting from PXE
also add the capability to acts as server for PXE & NBD.
This is a dirty script to ilustrate how to launch server:
---- Cut here ----
IP=$1
ISO=$2
ifconfig eth0 ${IP}
dnsmasq \
--enable-tftp \
--tftp-root=/bootmnt/boot \
--dhcp-boot=/pxelinux.0,"${IP}" \
--dhcp-range=${IP%.*}.2,${IP%.*}.254,86400
nbd-server 9040 ${ISO} -r
---- Cut here ----

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)

Fix file permissions, since GIT does not manage perms other than 755 and 644.
Also this can be used to adjusts owner:group.

* Avoids having to maintain a private copy of the files:
passwd/shadow/group/gshadow
* Similar but for locales, as well as the advantage of having ready
the locale database that the user wants. (all NN_MM* will be enabled)

Rewrite the Makefile to avoid rebuild of squashfs images,
base filesystem, and redownload of packages for make the core-pkgs.
For now (what is tested): type make and all images will be created
in < 4 minutes (under tmpfs on Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 4GB)

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.
