If we are booting pxe booting using syslinux, and it has IPAPPEND 2 in
the boot stanza, then it will append the mac address of the device we
are booting from to the kernel parameters where we can get at it
pretty easily.
If we are booting physical hardware via UEFI over the network, we can
rely on the BootCurrent EFI variable to point at the boot entry for
the NIC we booted from, which will include the MAC address of that
nic.
If neither of those cases are in play, we can just fall back to the
all-physical-devices-with-links code.
This currently uses the Bash 4 support for associative arrays to handle
the netboot-in-UEFI case, if needed I can rewrite it to be Bash 3 compatible.

We assemble the init script of ramdisks with the fragments from included
elements, alphabetically.
We now place leading numbers on all of the fragments we ship, to make it
more obvious to element authors and downstream users, how the process
works.

When ramdisk-image-create is called with the hwdiscovery element,
it failed to install hwinfo package.
The root reason is 10-hwinfo is not executable, the fix is to
set the file permission of 10-hwinfo to be executable.

Ramdisks are now built inside a chroot which is built by the normal
image build process. Doing so improves our independence of the
precise state of the build host.
This fixes bug 1194055.

This adds support for other elements to feed into the hwdiscovery
results.
It also fixes a few bugs in the construction of the ramdisk.
It also adds support for specifying a server to POST the discovered
hardware data to, via the kernel command line

Flavour is overloaded in openstack due to it being used by nova. Element
seems to have the same feeling of combinability without using a term already
in active use in the openstack community.
