* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.

I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare
their nixos first, and I don't think it will break any nixos for the initrd
size increase.
It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
attribute in fileSystems. Ext2/3/4 support is currently
unconditional.
Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

This reverts commit 025f8c40b40fad50086e8761eee61098d8fb2651.
The check was intened for building the initrd of the installer.

popt-0.16 and cryptsetup-1.4.1 both generated pkgconfig (in contrast
to older versions). The pkgconfig files (popt.pc and cryptsetup.pc)
contain references into the store that are not removed by patchelf and
stage-1 fails with errors like: "output is not allowed to refer to
path `/nix/store/qccjhn063cfv171rcaxvxh0yk96zf7l2-cryptsetup-1.4.1'".
Now, only the cryptsetup binaries and its dependencies are copied,
determined by ldd. In addition the cryptsetup binary and lvm are
tested after patchelf has adjusted the library paths.
Thanks to Peter Simons and Eelco Dolstra for giving the rights hints.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

possibility that a udevd process survives, preventing udevd from
starting in stage 2:
machine# udevd[1421]: bind failed: Address already in use
machine# udevd[1421]: error binding udev control socket

was already the case on Linux 2.6.32, but in newer kernels the CFQ
scheduler is built as a module, so all block devices got the ‘none’
scheduler instead.
