* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[mapped-devices]: New field.
(luks-device-mapping): New procedure.

parameter and honor it.

#:linux-modules argument in the gexp. Remove #:linux and
#:linux-modules arguments to 'expression->initrd'.

#:linux-module-directory parameter. Don't create 'modules'
sub-directory.

list of absolute file names. Don't prepend "/modules/" to
LINUX-MODULES.

libahci.ko may fail with -1.

* gnu-system.am (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES): Add it.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Use (gnu build

Suggested by Mark H. Weaver.

* gnu/system.scm (user-group->gexp): Pass the 'system?' field.

activation.

(base-pam-services): Use it for all the user* and group* commands.
* gnu/system/shadow.scm (<user-account>)[system?]: New field.

* guix/build/activation.scm (add-user): Add #:system? parameter and
honor it.
(activate-users+groups): Handle the 'system?' part of user tuples.
Pass it to 'add-user'. Don't create PROFILE-DIR when SYSTEM? is
true.
* gnu/services/dbus.scm (dbus-service): Add 'system?' field for
"messagebus" account.
