this means that net devices in devices/foo/default.nix can be
specified by their sysfs paths (instead of by "eth0" and "eth1" that
may change from one kernel version to the next) and given mnenomic
names that are helpful for the hardware. Like "wan" and "lan[1..4]"
I may have broken the run-liminix-vm command a bit for MIPS due to
necessary changes in how we pass the command line. If CI isn't green
for this commit and youre trying the worked examples, I suggest
reverting to the commit before this one.
New rules: everything under "config" that isn't actually configuration
(e.g. build products) will in future live in config.system. This is
the first step.
This is a hefty change
* add support for kernel backports project
* build wireless stack/drivers as modules from a backported kernel
* create a service to load/unload the modules
by having two separate derivations for patching the kernel source tree
and building it, we have to copy said source trees from one store
location to another which takes non-neglible time on spinning rust
(literally minutes on my machine). Replace with a single derivation
that can do more things on one tree in-place
