To avoid having to sync directory creation and tmpfiles installed by
ebuilds just require ebuilds to do `keepdir /etc/path` and this script
will handle the rest. A possible extension would be to update to handle
symlinks in addition to directories in gen_tmpfiles.py
The funky UUID and other special settings should only be applied to
coreos-rootfs and coreos-usr partitions which will never be fscked. When
STATE becomes ROOT in -usr images it gets fsked while mounted read-only
and fsck updates the filesystem's UUID if it is blank. Turns out this
causes disagreement between the kernel and the disk leading to bad
things. A related issue was fixed in a newer version of tune2fs but
unless I missed it the same bugfix didn't make it into e2fsck so
updating wouldn't resolve the issue.

Check if the disk layout is a /usr layout and if so hack the USR-A
partition, not whatever is mounted to /. Also use the new functionality
in disk_util for this as it can look up partitions by label.
The basic infrastructure to support this is now in place. Add a new
board that uses the experimental coreos/amd64/usr profile /usr based
disk layouts. This is just enough to successfully build images, they
aren't bootable yet.
Nothing from chromeos-common.sh is needed for image building now. Also
kill off build_common.sh which was just a weird way of sourcing
common.sh. The two piddly functions it provided fit better in
build_image_util.sh
The boot kernel parameters change depending on whether the new /usr
scheme is in use. Pass the disk layout to the bootloader config script
and adjust generated configs accordingly.
Now disk_util is aware of the weird ext2 read-only hack, both by
providing a command to manipulate it and support in the mount command to
automatically set the 'ro' mount option for filesystems with it.
Making mount aware of the hack makes it much easier to mount prod
images with a mix read-only and read-write filesystems.
write_gpt --update <img> will read an existing image and make sure all
existing partitions will not get moved or truncated in the new layout.
This is mostly useful for resizing the final partition or just rewriting
metadata like partition types and labels.
cros_make_image_bootable now only is relevant for prod images, so move
the remaining code to prod_image_util in a similar scheme that base and
dev images use.
Lots of things are either unused or meaningless. A particularly creative
one is the fact that there are command line flags for mount point
locations that are then overwritten.
The verification flag was being passed through to the bootloader
template script but no longer had any effect.
Force the base image to always remain writable, its only purpose is to
be modified in a later build step anyway.
Merge GetPartitionTable and partition alignment from WritePartitionTable
into LoadPartitionConfig so that all this config manipulation code is in
one place and inheritance from the 'base' layout is more predictable.
