Fixes <http://bugs.gnu.org/20067>.
Reported by Tomáš Čech <sleep_walker@suse.cz>.
* gnu/system.scm (system-linux-image-file-name)
(operating-system-kernel-file): New procedures.
(operating-system-grub.cfg): Use 'operating-system-kernel-file' for the
'kernel' field of 'menu-entry'.
(operating-system-parameters-file): Likewise for the 'kernel' entry.
(read-boot-parameters): Adjust 'kernel' field so that it contains the
absolute file name of the image.
* gnu/system/grub.scm (grub-configuration-file)[linux-image-name]:
Remove.
[entry->gexp]: Assume LINUX is the absolute file name of the kernel
image.
* doc/guix.texi (GRUB Configuration): Add an example, and adjust
'kernel' field documentation accordingly.
Previously we would create one 'file-system-service-type' instead per
file system. Now, we create only one instance for all the file
systems.
* gnu/services/base.scm (fstab-service-type)[compose]: Change to
CONCATENATE.
(file-system-shepherd-service): Change to return either one
<shepherd-service> or #f.
(file-system-service-type): Pluralize 'name'. Adjust
SHEPHERD-ROOT-SERVICE-TYPE extension to above changes. Add 'compose'
and 'extend'.
(file-system-service): Remove.
* gnu/system.scm (other-file-system-services): Rename to...
(non-boot-file-system-service): ... this. Change to return a single
FILE-SYSTEM-SERVICE-TYPE instance.
(essential-services): Adjust accordingly.
Our 'glibc' package currently ignores /run/current-system/locale,
although the intent is to look for locales in that directory.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc/linux): Add comment about
/run/current-system/locale being ignored.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-environment-variables): Add
'GUIX_LOCPATH'.

* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-etc-service) <profile>: Move sourcing
of /etc/environment before that of $HOME/.guix-profile/etc/profile.

This allows mapped devices listed in 'dependencies' to be properly taken
into account.

of the 'dependencies' of FS.

After commits 004ea62 and 092dd65, Emacs can find packages in a system

(operating-system-etc-service): Adjust accordingly.
(operating-system-environment-variables): Remove EMACSLOADPATH.

After commit 13fe4891fa, Emacs package
includes "site-start.el", and it has a priority over
"/etc/emacs/site-start.el" on GuixSD because "/etc/emacs" is added to
the end of 'load-path'.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-environment-variables): Change
EMACSLOADPATH to prepend "/etc/emacs" to 'load-path' instead of
appending.
This fixes a bug whereby /dev/disk/by-{label,id} would be missing on
GuixSD (/dev/disk/by-id would still contain device-mapped partitions
though.)
Reported by Mark H Weaver <mhw@netris.org>.
* gnu/packages/linux.scm (eudev-with-blkid): New variable.

variable and use it for the "--root=" argument.
This is a followup to ab64483.
