This updates the new stable kernel to 3.14, and the new testing kernel
to 3.15.
This also removes the vserver kernel, since it's probably not nearly as
used.

If the user explictly gives a ref such as "refs/heads/master", `git
rev-parse` failed because we only checked out the `fetchgit`
branch. Now, we also try `git rev-parse fetchgit` if the first call
fails, which fixes the issue.
HipChat (or rather its copy of Qt) expects to find keyboard data in
/usr/share/X11/xkb. So use a LD_PRELOAD library to intercept and
rewrite the Glibc calls that access those paths. We've been doing the
same thing with packages like Spotify, but now this functionality has
been abstracted into a reusable library, libredirect.so. It uses an
environment variable $NIX_REDIRECTS containing a colon-separated list
of path prefixes to be rewritten, e.g. "/foo=bar:/xyzzy=/fnord".
This now provides a handful of different grsecurity kernels for slightly
different 'flavors' of packages. This doesn't change the grsecurity
module to use them just yet, however.

fetchpatch is fetchurl that determinizes the patch.
Some parts of generated patches change from time to time, e.g. see #1983 and
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.nixos/12815
Using fetchpatch should prevent the hash from changing.
Conflicts (auto-solved):
pkgs/development/libraries/haskell/gitit/default.nix
1) Packages formerly called haskell-haskell-platform-ghcXYZ-VVVV.X.Y.Z are
now called haskell-platform-VVVV.X.Y.Z. The latest version can be
installed by running "nix-env -i haskell-platform".
2) The attributes haskellPackages_ghcXYZ.haskellPlatform no longer exist.
Instead, we have attributes like haskellPlatformPackages."2012_4_0_0".
(The last numeric bit must be quoted when used in a Nix file, but not on
the command line to nix-env, nix-build, etc.) The latest Platform has a
top-level alias called simply haskellPlatform.
3) The haskellPackages_ghcXYZ package sets offer the latest version of every
library that GHC x.y.z can compile. For example, if 2.7 is the latest
version of QuickCheck and if GHC 7.0.4 can compile that version, then
haskellPackages_ghc704.QuickCheck refers to version 2.7.
4) All intermediate GHC releases were dropped from all-packages.nix to
simplify our configuration. What remains is a haskellPackages_ghcXYZ set
for the latest version of every major release branch, i.e. GHC 6.10.4,
6.12.3, 7.0.4, 7.2.2, 7.4.2, 7.6.3, 7.8.2, and 7.9.x (HEAD snapshot).
5) The ghcXYZPrefs functions in haskell-defaults.nix now inherit overrides
from newer to older compilers, i.e. an override configured for GHC 7.0.4
will automatically apply to GHC 6.12.3 and 6.10.4, too. This change has
reduced the redundancy in those configuration functions. The downside is
that overriding an attribute for only one particular GHC version has become
more difficult. In practice, this case doesn't occur much, though.
6) The 'cabal' builder has a brand-new argument called 'extension'. That
function is "self : super : {}" by default and users can override it to
mess with the attribute set passed to cabal.mkDerivation. An example use
would be the definition of darcs in all-packages.nix:
| darcs = haskellPackages.darcs.override {
| cabal = haskellPackages.cabal.override {
| extension = self : super : {
| isLibrary = false;
| configureFlags = "-f-library " + super.configureFlags or "";
| };
| };
| };
In this case, extension disables building the library part of the package
to give us an executable-only version that has no dependencies on GHC or
any other Haskell packages.
The 'self' argument refers to the final version of the attribute set and
'super' refers to the original attribute set.
Note that ...
- Haskell Platform packages always provide the Haddock binary that came with
the compiler.
- Haskell Platform 2009.2.0.2 is broken because of build failures in cgi and
cabal-install.
- Haskell Platform 2010.1.0.0 is broken becasue of build failures in cgi.
This function downloads and unpacks a file in one fixed-output
derivation. This is primarily useful for dynamically generated zip
files, such as GitHub's /archive URLs, where the unpacked content of
the zip file doesn't change, but the zip file itself may (e.g. due to
minor changes in the compression algorithm, or changes in timestamps).
Fetchzip is implemented by extending fetchurl with a "postFetch" hook
that is executed after the file has been downloaded. This hook can
thus perform arbitrary checks or transformations on the downloaded
file.
This allows fonts to be installed from anywhere in an unzipped file
rather than having to cd deep into the directory and come back out in
order for e.g. `forceCopy` to work correctly.
This ensures that the intermediate machine is shut down only after the
migration has finished writing the memory dump to disk, to ensure we
don't end up with empty state files depending on how fast the migration
finished before we actually shut down the VM.

This ensures that the builder isn't waiting forever if the Windows VM
drops dead while we're waiting for the controller VM to signal that a
particular command has been executed on the Windows VM. It won't ever
happen in such cases so it doesn't make sense to wait for the timeout.

This hook allows to scatter files in $out to multiple outputs.
For "bin" and "doc" outputs there are prefefined default masks, but
they can be overriden by setting files_<outname>, for example:
files_bin = [ "/bin/*" "/lib/libexec/" ];
To make an effect hook must be specified in buildInputs.
