Systemd sets locale variables like $LANG when running services, so
$LOCALE_ARCHIVE should also be set to prevent warnings like "perl:
warning: Setting locale failed.".
Subtle: dhcpcd.service would call resolvconf during shutdown, which in
turn would start invalidate-nscd.service, causing the shutdown to be
cancelled. Instead, give nscd.service a proper reload action, and do
"systemctl reload --no-block nscd.service". The --no-block is
necessary to prevent that command from waiting until a timeout occurs
(bug in systemd?).
We had a "mount -o remount,rw none /" that was setting back 'relatime',
although we had set 'noatime' at initrd mount. Removing the word 'none' fixed
it.
Specifying a device (in this case 'none'), makes mount to forget previous
device options. According to manpage, it says not to read fstab or mtab. But the
effect is that of setting 'relatime', if it was mounted 'noatime.
Enabled a bunch of units that ship with systemd. Also added an option
‘boot.systemd.units’ that can be used to define additional units
(e.g. ‘sshd.service’).
Upstart requires /dev/ptmx since its 1.4, and will lock up in case of it missing.
I was hitting this in the fuloong, where I don't use the nixos initrd.

I set it as default because users can benefit of this without having to prepare
their nixos first, and I don't think it will break any nixos for the initrd
size increase.
It can be disabled with 'boot.initrd.withExtraTools = false'.

init script. This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough. However, the GRUB menu
builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
for compatibility with old configurations.

build hook uses this directory to store temporary GC roots. (It
creates it if it doesn't exist, but it's better to do it here as
well to ensure the right ownership and permissions.)
* Clear /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp and /nix/var/nix/temproots at boot
time.

shutdown. (Portmap and statd are needed during shutdown to unmount
NFS volumes but have open files in /var/run.)
* In the shutdown job, don't kill PIDs belonging to Upstart jobs that
are still running. If they don't stop on the "starting shutdown"
event, then they're needed during shutdown (such as portmap and
statd).
* NFS test: test whether the shutdown quickly unmounts NFS volumes
(i.e. whether portmap and statd are still running).

to use the standard (coreutils) tools.
* Use util-linux's `switch_root' to switch over to the target root
FS. It automatically moves over the /dev, /proc and /sys from stage
1, so stage 2 doesn't need to set them up again.
