tar recurses into directories by default, but find is feeding it all the
files and directories so the tar it produces is considerably larger than
it needs to be due to duplicate files. Add --no-recursion flag so that
tar will only add the specific files and directories piped to it by find.

This adds the --make-tar option which will produce a xz compressed tar
of the root filesystem. This works with either virt-install or no-virt
modes. Use --image-name to set the output filename.
--compression is used to set the compression type to use, which defaults
to xz. Supported types are xz, lzma, gzip and bzip2.
--compress-arg is used to pass arguments to the compression utility.

If the user supplies a fsimage to use for the iso it may not be on the
same filesystem as the working directory. Try to hardlink first, but if
that fails copy the image.

--make-fsimage was only working with --no-virt, this re-structures
things so that virt-install partitioned disk images can be converted to
a fsimage. --make-ami was actually already doing this, so change it to
use --make-fsimage and set the default image name to "ami-root.img" with
a label of "AMI".
This also adds the ability to set the fs label on iso fsimage and
fsimages created with --make-fsimage and --make-ami by passing
--fs-label, but note that bootable iso's expect the Anaconda label.

The 32MiB size limit does not apply to upgrade.img since it's installed
to /boot by redhat-upgrade-tool instead of downloaded through TFTP. The
warning in rebuild_initrds will still be triggered by an upgrade.img
over the limit, but this doesn't halt the compose and it's probably not
a bad thing to know about.

The installation from DVD on s390x needs setting the target disks and
network information that are usually set by editing the generic.prm file.
By including the "rd.cmdline=ask" parameter dracut will open a simple
dialog so the user can enter the required information.

Currently, yaboot is the ISO boot loader in fedora and the Fedora on
POWER team is making an effort in order to replace it by GRUB2 in the
F20 release cycle. I'm sending a lorax patch so you guys can comment
on it. I'm planning to create a feature page for that too.
This patch only change the lorax template for ppc and should not
affect other archs, like x86.

When running lmc with --no-virt yum will use /tmp/ to cache some things.
If the kickstart or repos change between runs this cache can become
stale so remove it when lmc is finished.
Resolves: 1073502
The ppc config files were missing from the live config_files directory
and ppc needs the correct lib directory so lmc has been switched to use
ArchData driven from the installed kernel arch.
