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.

(cherry picked from commit 5c7c54adab)
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.

This makes is possible to modify /lib/modules content - especially
install other kernel packages, without unmounting the whole
/lib/modules. Since dom0-provided modules will no longer conflict with
VM kernel packages (assuming kernel versions are different), there is no
need for qubes-kernel-vm-placeholder anymore.
Having only one subdirectory of /lib/modules mounted is somehow tricky,
because:
1. Directory name isn't always the same - it depends on kernel version.
This means that mountpoint must be created dynamically (so $NEWROOT must
be mounted in R/W for a moment).
2. There is one-command way to mount only a subdirectory of some
filesystem. So use a trick: mount it in some temporary directory, get
interesting subdir with `mount --bind`, then unmount temporary
directory.
