The patch is currently being discussed on LKML and hopefully will be included
in mainline in some form in the future. Note that booting from the livecd has
to do a lot of work before anything is output to the console, so if the drive
is still busy don't assume the boot has hanged

It needs udevd to be running because the modules may require
firmware. Thanks to Mathijs and Arie for pointing this out.

longer compares the current configuration to the previous
configuration, but instead compares the current Upstart state to the
intended state. Thus, if the switch script is interrupted, running
nixos-rebuild again will resume starting/stopping Upstart jobs where
the previous run left off.
We determine if an Upstart job has changed by having the pre-start
script of each Upstart job put a symlink to its .conf file in
/var/run/upstart-jobs. So if this symlink differs from the target
of /etc/init/<job>.conf, then the job has changed. This also
prevents multiple restarts of dependent jobs. E.g., if job B has
"start on started A" and "stop on stopping A", then restarting A
will cause B to be restarted, so B shouldn't B restarted a second
time.
We only start jobs that are not running if 1) they're tasks that
have been previously run (like mountall); or 2) they're jobs that
have a "start on" condition. This seems a reasonable heuristic.

breaks VT switching and causes the X server to go to 100% CPU time.

checks that the current job hasn't been asked to stop.

* Move the implementation of boot.kernelModules from the udev job to
the activation script. This prevents races with the udev job.
* Drop references to the "capability" kernel module, which no longer
exists.

JOB", but it does kill the job's main process. So if the post-start
script if waiting for the job's main process to reach some state, it
may hang forever. Thus, the post-start script should monitor
whether its job has been requested to stop and exit in that case.

nfsd, as suggested by the nfs-utils README.
Also, rather than relying on Upstart events (which have all sorts of
problems, especially if you have jobs that have multiple
dependencies), we know just let jobs start their on prerequisites.
That is, nfsd starts mountd in its preStart script; mountd starts
statd; statd starts portmap. Likewise, mountall starts statd to
ensure that it can mount NFS filesystems. This means that doing
something like "start nfsd" from the command line will Do The Right
Thing and start the dependencies of nfsd.

actually listening. Otherwise we have a race condition during boot
where statd's start can be delayed, causing NFSv3 mounting to fail.

MODIFY NVRAM and, on Apple systems, possibly brick your firmware. PLEASE be
careful while further testing is performed

This allows setting a fixed device name per array, thus ensuring that at boot,
the arrays will always be mounted with the same names. I think this allows
solving the problem of grub getting confused about softraid device names
(prefix and root), if the devices always get the same naming at initrd.
