linux-initrd: Copy all the script's closure to the initrd.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove calls to 'imported-modules' and 'compiled-modules'. Use 'gexp->script' with EXP. Add the result to TO-COPY. Make /init a symlink to that script, and copy its closure into the "contents" directory. Add fake /proc/self/exe symlink. * gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (load-linux-module*): Add comment about mmap. * gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add "-m 256". This turns out to be needed for initrds containing things like e2fsck and several modules; with the default of 128 MiB, loading libahci.ko may fail with -1.
