systemd-user-sessions.service is specicically for that, do not use hack
(plymouth-quit.service), which doesn't work when the service is
disabled.

It may happen (especially when VM doesn't close cleanly and needs to be
killed) that qubesdb-daemon will not notice VM shutdown immediately.
Normally it would stop after 60s timeout, but speed it up in case of
system shutdown
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1425
This is required to create VMs in process of building Live system, where
libvirt isn't running.
Additionally there is no udev in the build environment, so needs to
manually create /dev/loop*p* based on sysfs info.
When user logins, login script will try to connect all guid to all the
running VMs. If VMs are still booting at this stage, will never
automatically get its guid (until user tries to start some program
there). This can for example lead to lack of nm-applet icon.
When called from libvirt->libxl, there is libvirt lock taken on that
domain. Because of that, we can't access libvirt domain, so basically
any runtime information. Without that --offline-mode, script waited on
the lock and then was killed by libxl after a timeout - before actually
committing the changes.
Mostly done. Things still using xenstore/not working at all:
- DispVM
- qubesutils.py (especially qvm-block and qvm-usb code)
- external IP change notification for ProxyVM (should be done via RPC
service)
Forking daemon after initializing hypervisor connection can cause
problems (and actually does in case of libvirt).
To notify systemd when daemon is ready use notify socket (previously it
was termination of parent process).
Not only refresh the info about mounted devices, but also check for
others - detected before xenstored was running. Because of recent change
in udev rules (adding flock) it shouldn't deadlock now.
It is common for both dom0 and VM, and also quite linux-specific
(other OSes will need other implementation). So move to linux-specific
repo (not dom0-specific).
