This reverts commit 10addad6035034b2b78f3c74ef436cd7146d5231, reversing
changes made to 7786575c6c0e1b010d46ad00b14d0bb5bf08d7d2.
NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.
Move all the nixos-* scripts from the nixos distribution as real
packages in the pkgs/ package set.
This allows non-nixos users to run the script as well. For example,
deploying a remote machine with:
nixos-rebuild --target-host root@hostname --build-host root@hostname
This partially reverts a change from e88f28965a7d76e83478d3ae6fcddc165b1c94f1
which removed the `mount --rbind /sys`.
While true that the activation scripts will mount `sysfs` at `/sys`,
none of the mountpoints lower in the `/sys` tree are handled by the
activation script, which includes `efivarfs`.
This fixes#38477 since it ensures the presence of `efivarfs` in the
`/sys` tree, which is why the systemd-boot installation failed.
Of course, you'll get a bunch of warnings from the activation script:
$ nixos-enter --root /tmp/mnt/
