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
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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1354
This is preparation for pvgrub support, where all VM kernel files will
be installed inside of VM instead of dom0.
But also the same could be used to prepare VM kernel image from any dom0
kernel.
