we want to generate the GRUB menu without actually installing GRUB
(because Amazon supplies its own pv-grub), and each menu entry
requires "root (hd0)". For the first, allow boot.loader.grub.device

generated without installing GRUB. For the second, add an option
boot.loader.grub.extraPerEntryConfig to allow commands to be added

For instance, after "stop nfs-kernel-nfsd", "start nfs-kernel-nfsd"

the "starting nfs-kernel-nfsd and started portmap" condition in

during boot. Mountall ensures that these are done in the right
order. It's informed by udev about devices becoming available. It
emits some Upstart events upon reaching certain states, in
particular ‘local-filesystems’ after all local filesystems have been
mounted successfully, ‘remote-filesystems’ after all network
filesystems have been mounted, and ‘filesystem’ (sic) when all
filesystems have been mounted.
Currently, if a filesystem fails to mount or doesn't exist, then the
mingettys won't start and the boot will appear to hang. This is
because mountall doesn't emit an event for failing filesystems and
waits indefinitely for the filesystems to become available.

machine can now declare an option `virtualisation.vlans' that causes
it to have network interfaces connected to each listed virtual
network. For instance,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 1 2 ];
causes the machine to have two interfaces (in addition to eth0, used
by the test driver to control the machine): eth1 connected to
network 1 with IP address 192.168.1.<i>, and eth2 connected to
network 2 with address 192.168.2.<i> (where <i> is the index of the
machine in the `nodes' attribute set). On the other hand,
virtualisation.vlans = [ 2 ];
causes the machine to only have an eth1 connected to network 2 with
address 192.168.2.<i>. So each virtual network <n> is assigned the
IP range 192.168.<n>.0/24.
Each virtual network is implemented using a separate multicast
address on the host, so guests really cannot talk to networks to
which they are not connected.
* Added a simple NAT test to demonstrate this.
* Added an option `virtualisation.qemu.options' to specify QEMU
command-line options. Used to factor out some commonality between
the test driver script and the interactive test script.

no longer emits specific events for those. Instead it emits a
"runlevel" event. The "runlevel" task starts the "shutdown" task to
perform the desired action.
* Upstart 0.6 no longer has a "shutdown" event, so "stop on shutdown"
no longer works. Therefore the shutdown task explicitly stops all
running Upstart jobs, before sending a TERM/KILL signal to all
remaining processes.
* Do a "chvt 1" at the start of the shutdown task to switch to the
console.
* Use /dev/console instead of /dev/tty1, since if somebody is logged
in on tty1, bad things will happen.

is "ready". This prevents ugly race conditions, e.g. HAL failing to
start because dbus hasn't finished starting yet.
* Support post-start scripts. These are executed after the job's main
process has started but before the job's "started" event is
emitted. For instance, the udev job uses this to perform "udevadm
trigger / settle" to create all devices. Previously this had to be
done in the pre-start script, so the daemon had to started in the
pre-start script as well.

driver (in services.xserver.videoDriver), the X server is now given
a set of drivers, and will use PCI ids to find the right one.
The only problem is that the choice of OpenGL driver (the
/var/run/opengl-driver symlink) depends on what driver is selected
at runtime (i.e. the NVIDIA implementation for "nvidia", and Mesa
for all other drivers). However this isn't a big problem right now
since "nvidia" isn't included in the default set of drivers anyway
for legal reasons.
* `services.xserver.resolutions' now defaults to [], meaning that the
X server should figure out the desired resolution(s) itself.
Likewise, `services.xserver.defaultDepth' defaults to 0 to let the X
server figure it out.
* Removed some options from xorg.conf that no longer appear needed
("Composite" and the DRI "Mode").

* Add deprecated options for "serviceType", "serviceName", "function" and
"config" without changing the behavior.
