b81604870b extract kernel config options from base module
we then "import" them straight back into base.nix - it's not
as though you can opt out of having a kernel. But this means
they'll appear separately in the documentation

fbb2c04132 move module-based-service parameter types into service
This is in preparation for writing something that extracts them
into documentation.

user configurations now call config.system.service.foo.build { ...params }
instead of config.system.service.foo

the parameter type definitions themselves now move into the
config stanza of the module referencing the service

new helper function  liminix.callService

The only service moved so far is dnsmasq

69e6eb5a89 accept attr args to pppoe service, and typecheck them
We use (abuse, arguably) the nixos module system for typechecking.  Un
the plus side, it gives us documentation of the options and their
expected types. On the downside, the error message doesn't tell us
the file in which the error was encountered.

(This is subject to change, if I can find a better way)

9441f48819 new ppp module, used by rotuer
The objective here is that services which depend on global config
(e.g. kernel config or busybox options or static paths in the
filesystem) now live under config.system.service, and are added
to that collection by the module that defines the necessary state.

This is a first step: the services will be configured by a typechecked
attr set instead of the arbitrary arguments that
pkgs.liminix.networking.pppoe accepts

2e50368bd2 rename config.outputs to config.system.outputs
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.

5dd0c6e3c0 rewrite preinit as very small C program
By using the kernel "nolibc" header to avoid requiring a C library, we
can bring the initramfs size to around 4k

This does involve a tiny bit of inline mips assembly which I'm not
sure about. gcc seems unwilling to generate the code to load $gp at
function entry of main(), so we do it by hand - but I'd rather find
out why gcc doesn't.

1cc0b13b57 rewrite systemconfig in C and link statically
systemconfig (a.k.a "activate") is run from the initramfs. Converting
it from a shell script to an executable means it doesn't depend on
there being a shell in the initramfs

Daniel Barlow
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

so that the bootloader args are ignored unless they
