3.16.0 introduced a regression where vlan and veth devices could not be
created due to a check in the code for existing devices. This applies
the upstream patch which fixes the issue.
Additionally, this corrects the nixos network-interfaces task which now
needs to specify the name parameter when adding links.
Within the module it's referenced with an uppercase "P" and ipv6Address
also begins with an uppercase "A" after the "6", so let's make it
consistent.

Currently, nixos will allow for interface names with special characters
such as the hyphen to be used. This presents a problem when using
systemd device names as the namespace paths are separated using hyphens.
Within systemd, if a device name has a hyphen it should be replaced with
the escape sequence \x2d.
This patch sanitizes all interface names before they are used in a
systemd device string.
This reverts commit 469f22d717e53c48d13a66ca862942e8098accc5, reversing

I tried to keep apparently-safe code in conflicts.
Currently, device units are named directly after the name the user
specifies for the device. A bridge device named lan will be defined
within lan.service. This becomes a problem if you want your interface
named nginx but also want to run the nginx service.
This patch fixes the issue by appending netdev to all virtually created
network device units. Therefore, the lan bridge -> lan-netdev.service.
This naming convention is used for all types of network devices in order
to ensure that all network devices are unique.
Previously, we had no method for creating 6-to-4 tunneled interfaces.
This patch adds the option networking.sits, which allows the user to
create named 6-to-4 sit devices.
Upstream has not been tagging new versions for a long time, but we need
compatibility with newer kernels. The 0.6.2 versions already have a bunch of
backported compatibility patches, but 3.14 kernels need even more.
Also, the git versions have fixed a bunch of crashes and other bugs, so perhaps
we should just bite the bullet and just use recent git versions (as sometimes
upstream recommends, when people run into bugs).
This adds a new "boot.zfs.useGit" boolean option, so that a user can
easily opt into using the git versions.
This used to work with systemd-nspawn 203, because it bind-mounted
/etc/resolv.conf (so openresolv couldn't overwrite it). Now it's just
copied, so we need some special handling.
If you define a unit, and either systemd or a package in
systemd.packages already provides that unit, then we now generate a
file /etc/systemd/system/<unit>.d/overrides.conf. This makes it
possible to use upstream units, while allowing them to be customised
from the NixOS configuration. For instance, the module nix-daemon.nix
now uses the units provided by the Nix package. And all unit
definitions that duplicated upstream systemd units are finally gone.
This makes the baseUnit option unnecessary, so I've removed it.
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
This patch adds support for the creations of new bond devices, aggregate
pipes of physical devices for extra throughput or failover.
Additionally, add better correction at the startup of a bridge
of vlan interface (delete old, stale interfaces).
(systemd service descriptions that is, not service descriptions in "man
configuration.nix".)
Capitalizing each word in the description seems to be the accepted
standard.
Also shorten these descriptions:
* "Munin node, the agent process" => "Munin Node"
* "Planet Venus, an awesome ‘river of news’ feed reader" => "Planet Venus Feed Reader"
