On s390 and in CDL mode (4k DASD) the call of grub2-install
does not work because grub2-install is not able to identify
a 4k fdasd partitioned loop device as a grub supported device
and fails. As grub2-install is only used to invoke
grub2-zipl-setup and has no other job to do we can
circumvent this problem by directly calling grub2-zipl-setup
instead. Also delete LDL mode support, IBM no longer supports
this
The bootloader settings are handled through attributes in the
type element. Over the years some attributes were added and
there are requests for more settings. Therefore the bootloader
setup deservers its own section. With this commit the schema
changes from v7.1 to v7.2 and moves bootloader, bootloader_console
boottimeout and zipl_targettype into a new bootloader subsection
below type. The commit also adds an auto transformation template
such that customers don't have to change their image descriptions.
This is related to Issue #1401
Use raises as context manager instead of a method decorator.
This clearly identifies which code part is expected to raise
an exception. Related to Issue #1128
The vboot firmware setup was a workaround on arm for the
chromebook platform several years ago. From a todays
perspective the setup and the way to boot would be different
and obsoletes the special case implementation. Thus this
is gone now. Related to Issue #234
Triggered by the firmware="vboot" setup an EFI setup plus a
raw partition without filesystem is created as first partition.
The size of the partition can be controlled by the vbootsize
attribute. The vboot feature is used by the arm architecture
to provide a space in the partition table for custom code as
required by e.g the chromebook. The final customization of the
vboot space is board specific and can't be implemented in a
generic way in kiwi. For finalizing the vboot space the script
hooks editbootconfig and editbootinstall can be used

nose is no longer maintained, thus we have to move to another
testing system. This commit updates the tox setup and all tests
to use pytest instead of nose.
more information from the XML description is needed in order
to make e.g decisions about the partition table type to use
according to the firmware setup in combination with e.g the
target loader type on s390. Thus the class now receives an
instance of the XML state and not only the firmware attribute
value
