pierron recommended the use of types.string over mergeOptionString, as
it is superior but might break things.
For my system the change evaluated to the exactly same.

This reverts commit 025f8c40b40fad50086e8761eee61098d8fb2651.
The check was intened for building the initrd of the installer.

popt-0.16 and cryptsetup-1.4.1 both generated pkgconfig (in contrast
to older versions). The pkgconfig files (popt.pc and cryptsetup.pc)
contain references into the store that are not removed by patchelf and
stage-1 fails with errors like: "output is not allowed to refer to
path `/nix/store/qccjhn063cfv171rcaxvxh0yk96zf7l2-cryptsetup-1.4.1'".
Now, only the cryptsetup binaries and its dependencies are copied,
determined by ldd. In addition the cryptsetup binary and lvm are
tested after patchelf has adjusted the library paths.
Thanks to Peter Simons and Eelco Dolstra for giving the rights hints.

After the change from revision 30103, nixos-rebuild suddenly consumed
freaky amounts of memory. I had to abort the process after it had
allocated well in excess of 30GB(!) of RAM. I'm not sure what is causing
this behavior, but undoing that assignment fixes the problem. The other
two commits needed to be revoked, too, because they depend on 30103.

possibility that a udevd process survives, preventing udevd from
starting in stage 2:

was already the case on Linux 2.6.32, but in newer kernels the CFQ
scheduler is built as a module, so all block devices got the ‘none’
scheduler instead.

be set when udevd calls external programs. (The udev manpage claims
that udevd passes its own environment variables, but this is not the
case.)
* Get rid of some udev rule hacks that no longer seem needed.

problem is that configuration values below a mkIf are evaluated
strictly even if the condition is false. Thus "${luksRoot}" causes
an evaluation error. As a workaround, use the empty string instead
of `null' as the default value. However, we should really fix the
laziness of mkIf. It's likely that NixOS evaluation would be much
faster if it didn't have to evaluate disabled configuration values.

init script. This removes the need for the `systemConfig' boot
parameter; `init=<stage-2-init>' is enough. However, the GRUB menu
builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
for compatibility with old configurations.

* Moved some scriptlets to the appropriate modules.
* Put the scriptlet that sets the default path at the start, since it
never makes sense not to have it there. It no longer needs to be
declared as a dependency.
* If a scriptlet has no dependencies, it can be denoted as a plain
string (i.e., `noDepEntry' is not needed anymore).

build hook uses this directory to store temporary GC roots. (It
creates it if it doesn't exist, but it's better to do it here as
well to ensure the right ownership and permissions.)
* Clear /nix/var/nix/gcroots/tmp and /nix/var/nix/temproots at boot
time.
