When a ubuntu/IPA ramdisk is used to boot a baremetal machine with
ironic agent-ilo driver, it fails at the point of mounting /proc
and /sys. After the vmlinuz(kernel) is started and it tries to
load the partitions on ramdisk. It need the directory of "/sys"
and "/proc" to mount the corresponding filesystems.
In order to fix this issue, the directories of "sys" and "proc"
are retained but the subdirectories or files under them are empty.
With this change, the directories of "/sys" and "/proc" shows
up in the ramdisk and kernel will mount sys and proc filesystems
on them respectively.

The ironic-agent element is created using the disk-image-create utility
(even being a ramdisk) and outputs a .vmlinuz file for the kernel
(different than the ramdisk-image-create which outputs a .kernel file
for the kernel). This is inconsistent and make scripting against the
diskimage-builder more complicated if one wants to support different
types of ramdisk.
This patch creates a hard link for the .vmlinuz file to a .kernel file
at the end of the process (to keep backward compatibility) and print a
deprecation message.

This patch is reducing the size of the ramdisk image generated by the
ironic-agent element. It does remove extra packages (graphical stuff,
dev stuff, miscs, docs, etc...) and purges directories that are not
needed for a ramdisk (like /boot since it boots using an external
kernel)
Currently it was tested generating a Fedora 22 image and reduced the
size of the final image from 464 MB to 211MB compacted (54% decrease).
I was able to boot a VM with 1.3 GiB of ram instead of the previous 3 GiB
needed.

/tmp does not contain anything useful anyway, and excluding its content
makes the initramfs smaller too.

There is a wide variety of tracing options through the various shell
scripts. Some use "set -eux", others explicity set xtrace and others
do nothing. There is a "-x" option to bin/disk-image-create but it
doesn't flow down to the many scripts it calls.
This adds a global integer variable set by disk-image-create
DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. All scripts have a stanza added to detect this and
turn on tracing. Any other tracing methods are rolled into this. So
the standard header is
---
if [ "${DIB_DEBUG_TRACE:-0}" -gt 0 ]; then
set -x
fi
set -eu
set -o pipefail
---
Multiple -x options can be specified to dib-create-image, which
increases the value of DIB_DEBUG_TRACE. If script authors feel their
script should only trace at higher levels, they should modify the
"-gt" value. If they feel it should trace by default, they can modify
the default value also.
Changes to pachset 16 : scripts which currently trace themselves by
default have retained this behaviour with DIB_DEBUG_TRACE defaulting
to "1". This was done by running [1] on patch set 15. See the thread
beginning at [2]
dib-lint is also updated to look for the variable being matched.

The element was prepending the work directory forcibly, which will have
problems when the image name has an absolute path, which is allowed.

This element creates kernel and ramdisk files based on Fedora,
example:
disk-image-create -a i386 -o test fedora ironic-agent disable-selinux
