New losetup from util-linux 2.21 uses new /dev/loop-control from Linux 3.1.
Needs mkinitcpio-0.8.2+ (provides modules.devname, or workaround with earlymodules=loop)
Get advantages from it! Removing custom shell code.

This was useful to me during development of dm-snapshot support
to create very quickly isos without wating for SquashFS compression.
Is time to remove this, I think the is no practical usage,
and make the code a bit more simple.

We are only using these files only for SYSLINUX bootloader that supports
".." as directories.
ISOLINUX jumps to archiso.cfg via isolinux.cfg
PXELINUX goes directly to archiso.cfg via DHCP configuration.

* In that way we can have two differents syslinux menus depending if booting from
PXE or from non-PXE.
Some file renames are made to keep things ordered:
archiso_pxe* all things related to PXELINUX
archiso_sys* all things related to SYSLINUX
*_inc.cfg only contains INCLUDE directive
* By default NBD PXE option is selected for booting on timeout.
* As (NDB/NFS/HTTP/FTP) server is used the same IP from pxeserver.

* Now we have more than one PXE boot methods.

On machines with common graphics chipsets (radeon, intel, nvidia), enable
KMS early. Downloading images from a remote server can take time, better
view the status with a nice resolution.
Otherwise does not work.

We are currently checksuming all files inside $archisobasedir
(aitab, *sfs, kernel/initramfs and boot/syslinux related files)
this is stored in one file only. Its works good for now,
but I think we only need to checksum only aitab and *.sfs if they are needed.
Currently if you boot a dual-iso in i686, also checksum is done
for *.sfs of x86_64. Not a big issue, this just take a bit more time.
The real issue is when booting via PXE with HTTP/FTP methods,
since they download only aitab and needed *.sfs files,
can not use directly the only one file where checksums are stored.
This patch does:
(1) Do not checksum syslinux related files, anyway you are already reach initramfs stage.
(2) Do not checksum kernel/initramfs files, for the same as (1)
(3) Two checksum.${arch}.md5 for each i686 and x86_64 for only aitab and *.sfs.

* In that way, we have unified directory scheme among {pxe,sys,ext,iso}linux,
sharing the same directory structure and config files.
* Also enable IPAPPEND (will show a warning message about unknown directive in non-pxelinux before menu)
NEW:
* Rename syslinux*.cfg -> archiso*.cfg
* Now syslinux.cfg is only a "loadconfig" trick like we are doing for isolinux
* All paths are now relative to %INSTALL_DIR% ($archisobasedir) (Default: /arch/)

Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files.
The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it
(like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to
/run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case.
This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way
NBD is the default.
New bootparm:
* archiso_curl_url=(first form)
archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (absolute form)

${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs.
This fetch only needed files.

Add some options to control where all COW files will be located.
Until this moment all files are located in a tmpfs filesystem.
Now is posible to set a device via a filesystem label or device node
plus a directory, where all these files will be stored.
All dm-snapshot devices will be persistent by default,
but this can be changed if wanted.
Take care, a filesystem that does not support sparse files maybe
is not the best choice for COW files, because they are created with
the same size (is apparent) like the read-only device (the image.fs inside .sfs).
Of course sooner or later, depending on use, these files actually end up
being as big as the read-only device.
KNOW-ISSUE: On shutdown in step "Unmounting Filesystems" will [FAIL],
all filesystem except $cow_device, will be unmounted/remounted-ro.
For this reason this change needs an archiso_shutdown hook, thats
unmount all block devices used by archiso. (Work in progress)
