Prior to this patch:
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '
> with import ./. {
> localSystem.config = "aarch64-unknown-linux-musl";
> };
> (nixos {}).config.nixpkgs.localSystem.config
> '
"aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu"
Because only the system triple was being passed through, the Musl part
of the system specification was lost. This patch fixes various
occurrences of NixOS evaluation when a Nixpkgs evaluation is already
available, to pass through the full elaborated system attribute set,
to avoid this loss of precision.
Previously, it was held back due to the ENA driver not building on the
current default (5.15). The previous commit bumps the ENA driver, which
allows 5.15 to work.
This has a number of benefits such as that applying service limits will
actually work since there isn't a layer of indirection (the Docker daemon)
between the systemd service and the container runtime.
We need to move NixOS containers somewhere else so these don't clash
with Podman, Skopeo & other container software in the libpod &
cri-o/cri-u/libcontainer ecosystems.
The state directory move is not strictly a requirement but is good for
consistency.
Otherwise, starting this daemon fails with the message
```
virtchd[3484224]: Initialization of mandatory cloud-hypervisor state driver skipped
virtchd[3484224]: Driver state initialization failed
```

were shipped in the service's path have been moved to the waydroid
package.

While doing kernel development with the nixos testing infrastructure, it
is useful to quickly compile the kernel on the side and boot it in the testing VM.
This patch allows overriding the kernel through the environment
variable. For example, the following:
$ NIXPKGS_QEMU_KERNEL_testvm=$LINUX_SRC/arch/x86/boot/bzImage $VM/bin/nixos-test-driver
runs testvm testing VM with the fresh kernel compiled in $LINUX_SRC.

As a novice to using this module, I found the existing description to be
quite misleading. It does not at all disable pulling from the registry,
it just loads some image archive that may or may not be related to the
container you're specifying. I had thought there was extra magic behind
this option, but it's just a `docker load`. You need foreknowledge of
the contents of the archive so that whatever it contained is actually
used to run the container.
I've reworded the description to hopefully make this behavior clearer.
