'qemu-minimal' is enough for system tests, which is the main (only?) use
of <virtual-machine>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (<virtual-machine>)[qemu]: Default to QEMU-MINIMAL.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47225>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (%default-msize-value): New variable.
(%linux-vm-file-systems): Use it as the value of the msize option.

command.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image): Remove it.

This reverts commit 5379392731.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image)[preserve-target, inputs*]: New variables.
In gexp, use INPUTS* instead of INPUTS. Wrap OS and BOOTCFG-DRV in
'preserve-target'. Pass INPUTS* instead of INPUTS as the #:references-graphs.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target.
[builder]: Use #+. Don't pass #:target-arm32? and #:target-aarch64? to
'load-in-linux-vm'.
Pass #:target #f to 'gexp->derivation'.
(qemu-image): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Remove #:target-aarch64?
and #:target-arm32?. Define them as local variables.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[check]: New macro.
[builder]: Use 'let-system' and 'check' instead of referencing
'%current-system' and '%current-target-system'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-docker-image): Add #:shared-network? and
pass it to 'containerized-operating-system'.
(qemu-image):
* guix/scripts/system.scm (system-derivation-for-action): Pass
#:shared-network? to 'system-docker-image'.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Document it.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (install-efi, make-iso9660-image): Remove those procedures
that are now implemented in (gnu build image) module,
(initialize-hard-disk): remove efi support.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (iso9660-image): Remove it,
(qemu-image): adapt it to remove ISO9660 support.
Raw disk-images and ISO9660 images are created in a Qemu virtual machine. This
is quite fragile, very slow, and almost unusable without KVM.
For all these reasons, add support for host image generation. This implies the
use new image generation mechanisms.
- Raw disk images: images of partitions are created using tools such as mke2fs
and mkdosfs depending on the partition file-system type. The partition
images are then assembled into a final image using genimage.
- ISO9660 images: the ISO root directory is populated within the store. GNU
xorriso is then called on that directory, in the exact same way as this is
done in (gnu build vm) module.
Those mechanisms are built upon the new (gnu image) module.
* gnu/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/system/image.scm: New file.
* gnu/build/image: New file.

parameter and use it.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (qemu-image): Add #:device-node parameter. Pass
#:make-device-nodes to 'root-partition-initializer'.

pass it to 'root-partition-initializer'.
This fixes a regression introduced in 8e53fe2b91
where 'guix system vm' would no longer be using virtio.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Add "-nic user,model=virtio-net-pci".
This is a followup to a328f66a9e.

* gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm)[loader]:
Produce '/xchg/.exit-status' file upon success.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Check for 'xchg/.exit-status'
once QEMU has completed and respond accordingly.
This is a followup to 1540075c79.
The mistake had no effect on prior Guile versions but it's visible since
Guile 3.0.1 and the fix for <https://bugs.gnu.org/39634>.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (operating-system-uuid): Hash a list of
'file-system-digest' values, not the 'file-system-type' procedure.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (load-in-linux-vm): Move Qemu network configuration from
ARCH-SPECIFIC-FLAGS to the Qemu command line. Use the "-nic" option of Qemu
instead of "-device" and "-net".
* gnu/system/vm.scm (common-qemu-options): Do not add a '-net' command.
(virtual-machine-compiler): Use "-nic user,..." instead of "-net".
