Install hwe kernel for ubuntu-minimal. As noted this is currently
Xenial specific; we need this for initial bring-up so let's tackle
future releases as things progress.
Ensure we use ttyAMA0 for arm64 console too.

In the prior change we added block-device-[mbr|gpt|efi] elements to
create appropriate disk-layouts.
This adds an environment flag to each so the bootloader can install
the right thing. The EFI install path is updated to work with this
(this part a copy of I572937945adbb5adaa5cb09200752e323c2c9531)
We do some basic sanity checking in the block-device elements;
e.g. mbr is not suitable for aarch64, and efi is not suitable for
power.
This updates the bootloader to install EFI where appropriate

Avoid incorrect use of [ with =~ matching
I guess this doesn't trip "-e" because it's in an if-conditional. I'm
looking at making bashate detect this; maybe we can run bashate over
things we know are scripts

On Power systems console should be added the kernel command line
in the following order: 'console=tty0 console=hvc0'.
The first one is the graphical console. The last one is the serial
console. The kernel enables all the consoles pointed through the
kernel command line. However, only the last one will receive
input/output during kernel boot. All the other consoles will be
enabled after the boot.

In order to support {CentOS,RHEL}7 for building cloud images we need to
handle the differences in grub packaging from Ubuntu. We also need to
populate the defualt location for cloud images for CentOS builds.

Using the newly exposed variables from the prior change, install the
ppc bootloader to the boot partition, not the underlying loopback
device.
Change-Id: I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580
Currently we only export "image-block-device" which is the loopback
device (/dev/loopX) for the underlying image. This is the device we
install grub to (from inside the chroot ...)
This is ok for x86, but is insufficient for some platforms like PPC
which have a separate boot partition. They do not want to install to
the loop device, but do things like dd special ELF files into special
boot partitions.
The first problem seems to be that in level1/partitioning.py we have a
whole bunch of different paths that either call partprobe on the loop
device, or kpartx. We have _all_part_devices_exist() that gates the
kpartx for unknown reasons. We have detach_loopback() that does not
seem to remove losetup created devices. I don't think this does
cleanup if it uses kpartx correctly. It is extremley unclear what's
going to be mapped where.
This moves to us *only* using kpartx to map the partitions of the loop
device. We will *not* call partprobe and create the /dev/loopXpN
devices and will only have the devicemapper nodes kpartx creates.
This seems to be best. Cleanup happens inside partitioning.py.
practice. Deeper thinking about this, and more cleanup of the
variables will be welcome.
This adds "image-block-devices" (note the extra "s") which exports all
the block devices with name and path. This is in a string format that
can be eval'd to an array (you can't export arrays).
This is then used in a follow-on
(I0918e8df8797d6dbabf7af618989ab7f79ee9580) to pick the right
partition on PPC.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS reached its regular End of Life on April 28, 2017.

Instead, either use the bash built-in of type to ensure it exists. Since
which is an external dep, things can fail oddly in a constrained
environment.
Also add a dib-lint test for this.

Depending on the types of deployment (security, nfv...) some extra
kernel flags are needed on the images. This change exposes the
DIB_BOOTLOADER_DEFAULT_CMDLINE parameter, defaulting to the
existing 'nofb nomodeset vga=normal', that will allow to modify
these boot params.

Closes-Bug: #1668890
During the creation of a disk image (e.g. for a VM), there is the need
to create, setup, configure and afterwards detach some kind of storage
where the newly installed OS can be copied to or directly installed
in.
This patch implements partitioning handling.

Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level
directory and install them into
<root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either /
or the root of a virtualenv).
The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e)
do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to
look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a
whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a
special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python
unit tests on those elements that have it.
data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially
assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like
config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files.
By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always
know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact,
pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new
diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1].
We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we
need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the
library shell functions.
Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which
we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more.
They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader.
I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28)
to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point.
Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think
a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it
doesn't.
[1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive
modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning
__file__.
