Its add support for downloading the ISO image via HTTP/FTP with curl or download *.sfs files.
The files are downloaded on /run/archiso/curlspace (tmpfs) and setup a loop dev from it
(like in archiso_loop_mnt) in the ISO case, or just do a bind mount to
/run/archiso/bootmnt in the other case.
This hook must be located after archiso_pxe_nbd in mkinitcpio.conf, in that way
NBD is the default.
New bootparm:
* archiso_curl_url=(first form)
archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (absolute form)
Use an absolute URL. Fetch the entire ISO
archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/archlinux.iso (relative form)
Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Fetch the entire ISO
* archiso_curl_url=(second form)
archiso_curl_url=http://192.168.0.7/archlinux/iso/unpacked (absolute form)
Use an absolute URL. Where unpacked (an example name) is a directory where
${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default) is located with all *.sfs.
This fetch only needed files.
archiso_curl_url=ftp://${pxeserver}/archlinux/iso/unpacked (relative form)
Use the as IP the same server where PXE reside. Where unpacked (an example name)
is a directory where ${archisobasedir} ("arch" by default)
is located with all *.sfs. This fetch only needed files.
* curlspace_size= Set a size for a tmpfs filesystem where files are downloaded.

One hook only setup the network device (archiso_pxe_common) the other
setup the NBD client (archiso_pxe_nbd).
New bootparam:
archiso_pxe_srv=IP
Allow to set an IP different from the PXE server.

STATUS: Working (std boot, loop_mnt, pxe) with copytoram=[y|n].
NEEDS: initscript > 2011.07.3, mkinitcpio > 0.7.2, mkinitcpio-busybox > 1.18.5-1
Purpose: we need this for propertly unmount $cow_device,
used for persistent dm-snapshot devices.
This hook is based on work from Tom Gundersen[#1],
but adapted for archiso things (specially the shutdown script)

* Use device mapper + snapshot module, instead union layer filesystem.
* A block-level approach vs vfs-level.
* No more unofficial (Linux) things.
* More memory is needed.
* Refactor mkarchiso.
* Refactor hooks/archiso.
* Fix install/archiso_pxe_nbd
(due recent change in mkinitcpio-0.6.15 on checked_modules()/all_modules())
[Thanks Dave for the improved workaround]
* New configs/releng to build official images.
* Works with a Bash script instead of Makefile.
(better control and easy to maintain)
* Remove configs/syslinux-iso.
* Remove archiso2dual script. Integrate functionality in configs/releng.
* New configs/baseline to build the most basic live medium or use as template.
* New README (draft). [Thanks Dieter for fixing english grammar]

Add two parameters:
img_dev=/dev/sdNM
where /dev/sdNM is the device where .iso is located.
img_loop=/path/to/arch.iso
where /path/to/arch.iso is the full path of the .iso in the device img_dev.
Original idea from Baurzhan Muftakhidinov.

nbd (network block device utilities) package is required. This package is in AUR
at this moment: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9691
Also mkinitcpio-nfs-utils is required for ipconfig.

Takes the advantage of already symlinks created on /dev/disk/by-label/ by
60-persistent-storage.rules add by udev hook.
Tested on:
* Real machine as CD-ROM and USB key drive.
* KVM as CD-ROM and DISK (for both modes, in combination with IDE and SCSI)
* VirtualBox as IDE CD-ROM.
IMPORTANT note: Since isohybrid is a hack, if more partitions are added to
USB key drive, filesystem on these partitions MUST have LABEL, otherwise
USB key will fail to boot. Anyway there is an option archisodevice=,
to force and specific device where live-media reside.
(Maybe isohybrid will change the hack method used in a future)

USB boot delay is now handled with the usbdelay kernel param (default=0)
We use the built in delay of usb-storage to control this. by setting the
module's delay param. If your USB device doesn't work on first boot, try
setting usbdelay=10 or so
