field.
* gnu/system.scm (operating-system-user-mapped-devices,

Suggested by Adam Pribyl <pribyl@lowlevel.cz>.
* gnu/services/ssh.scm (lsh-service): Update docstring with xrefs to
the lsh manual. Fix typos.
* doc/guix.texi (Networking Services): Synchronize.
Reported by Adam Pribyl <pribyl@lowlevel.cz>.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Use #:root-login?, not
#:allow-root-login?, in example.
(Networking Services): Fix module name for ssh.
Suggested by Alex Sassmannshausen <alex.sassmannshausen@gmail.com>.
* doc/guix.texi (Using the Configuration System): Remove 'password'
field in the example.
(User Accounts): Clarify use of the 'password' field, with links to
the libc and Guile manuals.

* gnu/system.scm (<operating-system>)[firmware]: New field.
(directory-union): New procedure.
(%base-firmware): New variable.

'activate-firmware'.

#:disk-image-size to 'system-qemu-image/shared-store'.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix system): Mention use of '--image-size' in
conjunction with '--full-boot'.
* gnu/services/xorg.scm (xorg-start-command): Add #:drivers parameter.
Add 'device-section' procedure, and use it in 'xserver.conf'.
* doc/guix.texi (X Window): Document it.
Thanks to Mark H. Weaver <mhw@netris.org> for insightful discussions
and suggestions.
* guix/packages.scm (<package>)[graft]: New field.
(patch-and-repack): Invoke 'package-derivation' with #:graft? #f.
(package-source-derivation): Likewise. Do not use (%guile-for-build)
in call to 'patch-and-repack', and we could end up using a grafted
Guile.
(expand-input): Likewise, also for 'package-cross-derivation' call.
(package->bag): Add #:graft? parameter. Honor it. Use 'strip-append'
instead of 'package-full-name'.

procedures.
(package-derivation, package-cross-derivation): Add #:graft? parameter
and honor it.

recursive call on 'graft'.
* guix/build-system/gnu.scm (package-with-explicit-inputs,
package-with-extra-configure-variable, static-package): Likewise.
(gnu-build): Use the ungrafted Guile to avoid full rebuilds.
(gnu-cross-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/cmake.scm (cmake-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/glib-or-gtk.scm (glib-or-gtk-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/perl.scm (perl-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/python.scm (python-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/ruby.scm (ruby-build): Likewise.
* guix/build-system/trivial.scm (guile-for-build): Likewise.
* tests/packages.scm ("package-derivation, direct graft",
"package-cross-derivation, direct graft", "package-grafts,
indirect grafts", "package-grafts, indirect grafts, cross",
"package-grafts, indirect grafts, propagated inputs",
"package-derivation, indirect grafts"): New tests.
("bag->derivation", "bag->derivation, cross-compilation"): Wrap in
'parameterize'.
* doc/guix.texi (Security Updates): New node.
(Invoking guix build): Document --no-graft.
* emacs/guix-base.el (guix-switch-to-generation): New procedure.
* emacs/guix-info.el (guix-generation-info-insert-current): Insert button for
switching to generation.
