When remastering the image onto a USB volume, you might want to reuse
an existing partition without filling the root with lots of archiso
files. The archisobasedir parameter allows to specify a new root
directory, isomounts and all images will be searched in this directory.
The archiso_pxe_nbd hook adds all network modules, including ones that
are not supported: The hook only supports ethernet devices, so there
is no need to add wireless, wimax, ppp, irda and plip modules.
Adding the wireless modules had an undesired side effect: The
wireless driver was loaded in the initramfs stage, where the
required crypto modules were unavailable. This caused the
initialization of the wireless devices to fail.
This patch removes all network modules except ethernet.
dialog is no longer in the base group, but it needs to be included on
the CD for AIF.

Notable changes:
* -R option added. Used to specify a file with a list of files or directories
to remove from root-image.sqfs. This option only works with -T full.
A list of files/directories that will be removed is printed.
* -T purge_us profile removed, now is managed via -R option.
* Profiles looks now:
-T <profile> Type of target image (work is done on root-image.sqfs):
basic: join both images, no changes in root-image
split: 'basic' + split out usr/share/ and lib/modules/ from root-image
full: 'split' + remove specified directories (with -R) from root-image
* Code is now a bit small made by some refactions.

To avoid confusion, since we always like to split these both directories
(/usr/share and /lib/modules).

Otherwise archiso_pxe_nbd hook can configure the incorrect network card,
because ipconfig will configure all interfaces available.

* 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)

New function _mnt_aufs(). Don't display incorrect message (Adding new aufs...)
when no aufs branch is mounted, because mount type is bind.
Also, makes the code more clean :)

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
