vm: Generate a UUID to identify the root file system. This makes collisions less likely than when using a label to look up the partition. See <https://bugs.gnu.org/27735>. * gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): New procedure. (system-disk-image): Define 'root-uuid' and use it for the root file system. Pass it to 'iso9660-image' and 'qemu-image'.
vm: Allow users to specify a UUID for the root partition. * gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add #:file-system-uuid parameter; pass it as the 'uuid' field of the root partition.
system: Introduce a disjoint UUID type. Conceptually a UUID is just a bytevector. However, there's software out there such as GRUB that relies on the string representation of different UUID types (e.g., the string representation of DCE UUIDs differs from that of ISO-9660 UUIDs, even if they are actually bytevectors of the same length). This new <uuid> record type allows us to preserve information about the type of UUID so we can eventually convert it to a string using the right representation. * gnu/system/uuid.scm (<uuid>): New record type. (bytevector->uuid): New procedure. (uuid): Return calls to 'make-uuid'. (uuid->string): Rewrite using 'match-lambda*' to accept a single 'uuid?' argument. * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (grub-root-search): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. * gnu/system.scm (bootable-kernel-arguments): Check whether ROOT-DEVICE is 'uuid?'. (read-boot-parameters): Use 'bytevector->uuid' when the store device is a bytevector. (read-boot-parameters-file): Check for 'uuid?' instead of 'bytevector?'. (device->sexp): New procedure. (operating-system-boot-parameters-file): Use it for 'root-device' and 'store'. (operating-system-bootcfg): Remove conditional in definition of 'root-device'. * gnu/system/file-systems.scm (file-system->spec): Check for 'uuid?' on DEVICE and take its bytevector. * gnu/system/mapped-devices.scm (open-luks-device): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Call 'uuid-bytevector' for the #:volume-uuid argument.
vm: Call iso9660-image with #:register-closures? as #t. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Call iso9660-image with #:register-closures? as #t.
vm: Add support for registering closures to iso9660-image. * gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Add support for registering closures.
vm: Remove redundant conditional in system-disk-image. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Remove redundant conditional for #:file-system-type when calling qemu-image.

vm: Add a <virtual-machine> type and associated gexp compiler. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add #:options parameter and honor it. (<virtual-machine>): New record type. (virtual-machine): New macro. (port-forwardings->qemu-options, virtual-machine-compiler): New procedures.
vm: 'iso9660-image' produces a single-file output. * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Add #:single-file-output? and pass it to 'load-in-linux-vm'. (iso9660-image): Pass #:single-file-output? to 'expression->derivation-in-linux-vm'. * gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Add #:single-file-output? and honor it.
build, vm: Use a less common label. * gnu/build/vm.scm (initialize-hard-disk): Use "GuixSD_image" as label. * gnu/system/install.scm (installation-os): Likewise. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image): Likewise.
gnu: Rename (gnu packages qemu) to (gnu packages virtualization). * gnu/packages/qemu.scm: Rename this ... * gnu/packages/virtualization.scm: ... to this. * gnu/local.mk (GNU_SYSTEM_MODULES), gnu/packages/bootloaders.scm, gnu/packages/debug.scm, gnu/packages/gnome.scm, gnu/system/vm.scm, gnu/tests/install.scm: Adjust accordingly.
