[RESEND] Expose #:pre-mount argument of boot-system to raw-initrd.

[RESEND] Expose #:pre-mount argument of boot-system to raw-initrd.

[Hilton Chain]

Hi Guix,

The patch adds a #:pre-mount argument to raw-initrd, to be used in the later
boot-system invocation. This enables more customization space while avoiding
raw-initrd definition duplicates.

My main goal is to unlock LUKS root partition remotely via SSH, as in the
NixOS module linked below:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/nixos/modules/system/boot/luksroot.nix

I'm stilling experimenting with that, further progress would come as replies.

Thanks!

Sounds like a useful improvement; let us know how it goes.

Looks like you forgot to send the actual patch, but you might want to
send it to guix-patches@gnu.org if you think it’s ready for review:

  https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/en/html_node/Submitting-Patches.html

Thanks,
Ludo’.
