Move sourced/shared scripts to boot-*-common
Rearrange common definitions in each boot script to make them more
similar
Add common support for %ARCH% substitutions in DI_WWW_HOME
Fix boot-alpha to use which_deb when looking for aboot
Merge mips* together, using boot-mips-common
we've already got code to copy the d-i images into a handy place for
users. Move it into a common function and reference that for all the
arches affected.
CD creation fails with "disk full", because of rounding errors.
The minimum size of data-allocation is a 'cluster', which is a
power-of-two multiple of sectors.
mkfs.msdos chooses minimum FAT and cluster size for image: FAT12<16G
mkfs.msdos uses block-count where a block is 1024 B, but must be rounded
up to track_size with 32 sectors.
Round up each file to clusters before summing.
A sub-directory entry needs 1 cluster minimum.
Previous changes enabled gzip compressed Linux kernels, but not 100%
sure that it works on all systems. Disable this compression for now.
Switch hppa to use xorriso by default instead of mkisofs. Xorriso
supports kernel command lines to be up to 1023 bytes, better than
mkisofs. mkisofs only supports the older palo version 4 header format
which can hold only 127 characters which might be too small.
Previously, this code was being confused by the re-use/overloading of
existing keywords in the ifcpu64.c module and not producing any menu
entries. Now, explicitly parse the new options and pick out just the
64-bit menus as they're a strict superset of the menus in isolinux.
This may enable some more issues, e.g. people trying to load a 64-bit
kernel on a 32-bit system, but until we get some auto-detection of CPU
in grub there's not much we can do about that. Let's get *something*
working at least.
Currently the ins loader (mostly HMC loading into an LPAR) only
supports kernels up to 8 MiB. The jessie kernel has 11 MiB, which
does not fit and hence gets its tail overwritten by the initrd
(root.bin) loaded at this address. This change bumps the load
address to 16 MiB, which should allow for some more growth of
the kernel.

Even if they won't boot directly from CD/DVD, make it easy for people
using our images by giving them all the bits they'll need to get them
booting somehow.
When we've got multiple copies of the same initramfs hard-linked
together, gzip gets unhappy when we start modifying things
later. Explicitly break the links to fix that.
