In some scenarios, the required space in the tmpfs partition can be
larger (or smaller) than the default one, producing errors due to
the lack of enough space (or performance penalties for not using
tmpfs).
Using --min-tmpfs <size>, we can hint the working set size we'll need
and let dib choose to avoid or use tmpfs.

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.

For machines with low RAM (or no access to /proc/meminfo) the builder
will still run, but will just build inside the filesystem that is
hosting /tmp. This will result in a slower build (especially if there
are a lot of .deb packages installed).
Fixes bug #1175453

Using ELEMENTS_DIR env variable, you can specify multiple dirs containint your elements.
It must be a ":" separated elements list.
When an element is seen in one of those lists, it will be chosen and will continue with the next element.

ELEMENTS_DIR env var was not being set by lib/ramdisk-defaults.
This caused ramdisk-image-create to fail.

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.
