 * when creating an image from a node, make sure the new image
   gets the MBR version used by the existing image
 * when loading a single-partition image that requires a different
   MBR, invalidate all other existing partition ("invalidate" in the
   sense that we remove any partitions table entries, we don't do anything
   to the disk)

make sure colocate factor does not end up null

do what the comments say it should do.  I'm not convinced that this is the
right thing to do in terms of what we claim to support in the wireless
tutorial... but it will stop the odd interface_settings dup key
insert errors that wireless users occasionally generates.

Add code to tell linux to re-read the partition table after we've modified it, since it won't do it until the next reboot otherwise

multiple interfaces. The multiple interfaces issue is going to take
some thought and work to get right.

competing traffic - stemmed the packet losses in rcv buffers. Completely(& unfairly) dominates a competing IPerf TCP flow though.

database is only used for Utah's emulab.  In the process many other
changes where made to dumperrorlog to fix bugs and make it more
correct/robust.  I also avoided the need to explicitly lock any tables.

This is only used to determine if we can skip reloading the disk
(as is, or rather was, the case with some osids).  If we cannot
get the osinfo, we just force the disk to be reloaded.

on widearea nodes (if node is in reloading, it aggressively blows away
partition tables because we don't care then; if not in reloading, looks
for a spare unused disk.  The latter will fail if all disks are in use, of
course.

don't light up right away.

objects) while I was in there.

Also add -s (silent mode) option.

I'm sure there was a reason for this at one time, but I don't recall it...
