2015-09-13cleaner boot from loopmounted iso fileAdam Purkrt
Currently, when booting loopmounted iso file, it is necessary to specify not only img_dev and img_loop (which should be sufficient), but also archisolabel or archisodevice. With this patch, archisodevice is directly populated with the correct loop device, and it is not necessary to specify the label when booting from loopmounted iso, which makes for leaner and cleaner grub.cfg.
2015-01-27[archiso] Rename cowfile_size to cow_spacesize=Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi
The name is more relevant since the usage is shared for both dm-snapshot and overlayfs. Signed-off-by: Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi <vmlinuz386@gmail.com>

2014-08-08Reintroduce the possibility to force an architectureLukas Fleischer
Among other things, 36459f3 ([archiso] Drop aitab support, 2014-06-28) removed the possibility to manually set a specific architecture by using kernel parameters. This, however, is useful, e.g. when installing Arch Linux on a device that reports itself as i586 but works fine with the i686 flavor. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de>

Always create one filesystem of a fixed size (32G), format (ext4) and know name "airootfs". Simplify logic a lot.

Two purposes: * systemd filename friendly: "-" is used for "/" and must be escaped with "\x20" * ISO9660 filename friendly: "-" is replaced with "_"
