Bjørn Forsman 581226cfb4 nixos/bcache: /bin/sh -> ${bash}/bin/sh
Or else `services.udev.packages = [ bcache-tools ]` cannot be used.

To not break bcache in the initrd I'm modifying this in stage-1.nix:

  -  --replace /bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh
  +  --replace ${bash}/bin/sh ${extraUtils}/bin/sh

Reasoning behind that change:

* If not modifying the /bin/sh pattern in any way, it will also match
  ${bash}/bin/sh, creating a broken path like
  /nix/store/HASH-bash/nix/store/HASH-bash/bin/sh in the udev rule file.

* The addition of /bin/sh was done in 775f381a9e
  ("stage-1: add bcache support"). It seems somewhat plausible that
  no new users have appeared since then and we can take this opportunity
  to back out of this change without much fear of regressions.

  If there _are_ regressions, they should be in the form of build time
  errors, not runtime (boot), due to how the udev rule output is checked
  for invalid path references. So low risk, IMHO.

* An alternative approach could be to copy the /bin/sh substitute rule
  over to the non-initrd udev rules implementation in NixOS, but I think
  this way is better:
  - The rules file comes with a working path out of the box.
  - We can use more precise pattern matching when modifying the udev
    rules for the initrd.

longDescription = ''
Bcache is a Linux kernel block layer cache. It allows one or more fast
disk drives such as flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) to act as a
cache for one or more slower hard disk drives.
This package contains the required user-space tools.
User documentation is in Documentation/bcache.txt in the Linux kernel
tree.
