Normal command line and TFTP command line can be sometimes very
different.
e.g. We don't want to load UBI filesystems for a TFTP boot as it may
interfere with our root device loading.

Good: this means it's not hanging holding the s6 dataase lock.
Bad: it's the ugliest implementation and doesn't deserve to be preserved
(tbf the ugliness is not new)
We call s6-rc -u -p default to restart/start the base services
on a rebuild, otherwise services that are only in the new
configuration won't come up. However, this stops any service
started by a trigger. So, workaround is to restart the trigger
service and expect it to restart the services it manages if they're
needed
this is like pkgs.callService except that it passes
config.system.service as a param so that the service
being defined can invoke other services
if this proves to be a good idea, all uses of
pkgs.callService should be changed to use it instead
a firewall with no configuration will get a relatively sane ruleset. a
firewall with `extraRules` will get them deep merged into the default
rules. Specifying `rules` will override the defaults
config.boot.commandLineDtbNode can be set from `bootargs` to
`bootargs-override` (used for boards where the u-boot on the board does
set `bootargs` on its own).
In that case, the code updating the cmdline for tftpboot purposes also
needs to update this node, not the `bootargs` node.
Otherwise the kernel won't find the phram device, as it never heard
about it, as it didn't get the necessary cmdline options.
this is a bit of an experiment to reduce the copy-paste in
examples by turning them into "application" modules.
planning to follow up with another module for "wifi router"
This adds a simple boot blessing module, to be used, with the Zyxel NWA50AX.
There's a lot of elephant in the rooms: how do you upgrade kernel, etc.

Zyxel "firmware" format is just… a FIT with some metadata on the models.
This FIT is like this:
--------------------------
uImage FIT header
--------------------------
Linux kernel
--------------------------
FDT DTB
--------------------------
Padding so that
this makes
8192kb [1]
--------------------------
UBI volume
as a root filesystem
--------------------------
We just reproduce this in a very brutal and naive way.
In the future, this seems worth to generalize and modularize this idea
so that zyxel-nwa-fit is just an instance of a more general output.

I believe there should be another module exposing `rootubifs` as `rootfs`
or let any other module just subsume that component like `zyxel-nwa-fit` output.
