Don't try to dereference "Root filesytem" partlabel symlink, unless it's
really present (not only directory for it).
Also, use udevadm settle for waiting for /dev/xvda, instead of naive
wait sleep loop.
Try to find root filesystem by partition label (not filesystem label!).
If that fails, default to 3rd partition according to (new) default
layout.

Do not add 1:1 dm-linear when root.img (/dev/xvda) is read-write. This
was to always have root device at /dev/mapper/dmroot, but unfortunately
grub can't parse it properly (fails at looking for partition number of
/dev/xvda1). There was a hack specifically for this, but it caused other
partitions on xvda unavailable.
On the other hand, symlink is enough to be able to mount always the same
device. Now, grub detect that root fs is on /dev/xvda1, which is
enough to have grub2-install working. Unfortunate effect is that it puts
root=/dev/xvda1 at kernel command line, which breaks AppVMs based on
this TemplateVM. But it's easier to fix kernel command line, than grub
device detection logic.
Fixes "initramfs: add support for root.img with partition table"
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2557
Installing grub on root.img require some space before the filesystem.
Create it by adding partition table to root.img. This commit take care
of assembling dmroot device when such partition table is present, while
preserving compatibility with partition-less images.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2577
This hook require new device nodes to appear in /dev. If devtmpfs is
used, it's not a problem ("simple" initramfs case), but otherwise udevd
is needed - and it isn't running in pre-udev hook yet.

New version of sfdisk have different syntax for other units (suffixes
beside the numbers, instead of global --unit). The only common unit is
sector, so use that.

Theoretically it shouldn't be a problem, because module isn't installed
in initramfs by default (in dom0), but since such error would be fatal
to dom0 (will prevent it from booting), add a safety check for it.
Probably it will be required when (if) we migrate dom0 to Debian
This package is responsible for kernel modules and initramfs additions
needed in Qubes VM. When installed, it is possible to switch the VM to
use PV Grub and load the kernel from inside of VM. This greatly ease
installing custom kernel modules.
Changes:
- make qubes_cow_setup.sh working with both dracut and initramfs-tools
- add initramfs-tools configuration/scripts (including
qubes_cow_setup.sh)
- modify DESTDIR to handle multiple binary packages out of single
source

When udev is installed (and scheduled to be started), but not running
yet, plain dmsetup will deadlock on waiting for udev. Since we call
`dmsetup mknodes dmroot` anyway
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1354
When PV Grub will be used, VM initramfs should not contain /lib/modules
mounting code, as the VM root.img will already contains kernel modules.
Make it possible by splitting the module.
