Andreas Florath f314df12c3 Refactor: use lazy logging 
As described in pep282 [1], the variable part of a log message
should be passed in via parameter.  In this case the parameters
are evaluated only when they need to be.

This patch fixes (unifies) this for DIB.

A check using pylint was added that this kind of passing parameters to
the logging subsystem is enforced in future.  As a blueprint a similar
(stripped-down) approach from cinder [2] was used.

# Details of the MBR object itself can be found in the inline
# documentation.
#
# General design and implementation remarks:
# o Because the whole GNU parted and co. (e.g. the python-parted that
# is based on GNU parted) cannot be used because of the license:
# everything falls under GPL2 (not LGPL2!) and therefore does not
# fit into the Apache License here.
# o It looks that there is no real alternative available (2016-06).
# o The interface of python-parted is not that simple to handle - and
# the initial try to use GNU (python-)parted was not that much
# easier and shorter than this approach.
# o When using tools (like fdisk or parted) they try to optimize the
# alignment of partitions based on the data found on the host
# system. These might be misleading and might lead to (very) poor
# performance.
# o These ready-to-use tools typically also change the CHS layout
# based on the disk size. In case that the disk is enlarged (which
# is a normal use case for golden images), the CHS layout of the
# disk changes for those tools (and is not longer correct).
# In the DIB implementation the CHS are chosen that way, that also
# for very small disks the maximum heads/cylinder and sectors/track
# is used: even if the disk size in increased, the CHS numbers will
# not change.
# o In the easy and straight forward way when only using one
# partition, exactly 40 bytes (!) must be written - and the biggest
# part of this data is fixed (same in all cases).
#
# Limitations and Incompatibilities
# o With the help of this class it is possible to create an
# arbitrarily number of extended partitions (tested with over 1000).
# o There are limitations and shortcomings in the OS and in tools
# handling these partitions.
# o Under Linux the loop device is able to handle a limited number of
# partitions. The module parameter max_loop can be set - the maximum
# number might vary depending on the distribution and kernel build.
# o Under Linux fdisk is able to handle 'only' 60 partitions. Only
# those are listed, can be changed or written.
# o Under Linux GNU parted can handle about 60 partitions.
#
# Be sure only to pass in the number of partitions that the host OS
# and target OS are able to handle.

"""MBR Disk / Partition Table Layout
Primary partitions are created first - and must also be passed in
first.
The extended partition layout is done in the way, that there is
one entry in the MBR (the last) that uses the whole disk.
EBR (extended boot records) are used to describe the partitions
themselves. This has the advantage, that the same procedure can
be used for all partitions and arbitrarily many partitions can be
created in the same way (the EBR is placed as block 0 in each
partition itself).
In conjunction with a fixed and 'fits all' partition alignment the
major design focus is maximum performance for the installed image
(vs. minimal size).
Because of the chosen default alignment of 1MiB there will be
(1MiB - 512B) unused disk space for the MBR and also the same
size unused in every partition.
Assuming that 512 byte blocks are used, the resulting layout for
extended partitions looks like (blocks offset in extended
partition given):
======== ==============================================
Offset Description
======== ==============================================
0 MBR - 2047 blocks unused
2048 EBR for partition 1 - 2047 blocks unused
4096 Start of data for partition 1
... ...
X EBR for partition N - 2047 blocks unused
X+2048 Start of data for partition N
======== ==============================================
Direct (native) writing of MBR, EBR (partition table) is
implemented - no other parititoning library or tools is used -
to be sure to get the correct CHS and alignment for a wide range
of host systems.

# Design & Implementation details:
# o A 'block' is a storage unit on disk. It is similar (equal) to a
# sector - but with LBA addressing.
# o It is assumed that a disk block has that number of bytes
bytes_per_sector = 512
# o CHS is the 'good and very old way' specifying blocks.
# When passing around these numbers, they are also ordered like 'CHS':
# (cylinder, head, sector).
# o The computation from LBA to CHS is not unique (it is based
# on the 'real' (or assumed) number of heads/cylinder and
# sectors/track), these are the assumed numbers. Please note
# that these are also the maximum numbers:
heads_per_cylinder = 254
sectors_per_track = 63
max_cylinders = 1023
# o There is the need for some offsets that are defined in the
# MBR/EBR domain.
