Colin 1064867194 migrate the nix install to an external USB drive.
this requires a patch to uboot:
- uboot thinks the drive has a capacity of 0 (i.e. 'unknown'). unclear precisely why. could be noncompliant drive firmware, or a timeout somewhere.

and a patch to the rpi bootloader:
- in order to trampoline into the rpi-4 uboot.

and custom kernel modules in the initrd:
- in order to detect the USB hub (rpi fw).

additionally, i'm MANUALLY placing `bcm2711-rpi-400.dtb` into `/boot/nixos/..-linux-5.10.111-dtbs/broadcom`.
i'll want to do this automatically over time.

i hope to simplify much of this over time: this is just the first thing which works after a couple days of hacking at it.
