0687ae7f5c rename flashable->flashimage, o.squashfs to rootfs
"rootfs" describes what it is for, "squashfs" merely says
how it's implemented

(also, rootfs-as-jffs2 will soon be added)

54a1ab3529 support jffs2, with initramfs
the jffs2 filesystem contains only /nix/store and a script which is
run in early init (initramfs) and is responsible for recreating
"traditional" directories (/bin /etc/**/* /var &c) based on the
configuration.

this is tested only in qemu so far and could use some cleanup

25d9da967c remove support for sockets in pseudofiles
(1) we can't make them on a real filesystem except by running
something that calls socket()
(2) whyever would we want to?

98243d43da add mtdutils mkfs.jffs2 --graft option
we'd like a bit more of the convenience of mksquashfs
(never thought I'd say _that_) for jffs2, in particular
not having to copy all the desired store paths into a
single directory just so we can create an image from them

a172180be8 don't set lua5_3 in overlay
sphinx depends on lua5_3, so overriding it globally means rebuilding

a5cfa37ed3 unify kernel command line handling
We now use MIPS_CMDLINE_DTB_EXTEND for all boot varieties
(tftpboot, flash boot, kexec) with the addition of
MIPS_BOOTLOADER_CMDLINE_REQUIRE_COOKIE - local patch -
so that the bootloader args are ignored unless they
contain the string "liminix"

4b19568f1b add kexecboot
This allows booting a new image from a running OS, creating a
phram mtd for the root squashfs

* enable CONFIG_KEXEC
* add modules/kexecboot
* patch kexec-tools to add --map-file option for the squashfs
* patch kernel kexec code to call new kernel with DTB

3c6ec354ce move root's home directory to /home/root
/ is a bad choice of home directory

/home/root instead of /root is to make it easier to write
