That new option allows us to remove the crutch of pretending to be a container. Pretending to be a container had a couple drawbacks, they are now irrelevant. The dummy outputs could be re-worked to instead use out own stage-1 infra, but I prefer using dummies for now, for better insulation.
This quirk assumes the firmware has been set appropriately in the NixOS
configuration, using something akin to:
```
hardware.firmware = [
pkgs.my-device-firmware
];
```

This is done at the device tree / kernel level.

The meat of this PR is the wcnss-wlan Mobile NixOS module.
The firmware for
asus-z00thas been extracted by myself, from a running system. Some of the firmware bits are in theoempartition on the device, but I'm unable to mount it from the Mobile NixOS system...Anyway, with this I have the wi-fi network working on boot.
Buried in there, there is the change to
boot.initrd.enable = false;, which fixes a couple annoying quirks that came from (ab)usingisContainer.With this PR, comes two patch sets for
asus-z00t.The first simply removes an annoyingly infuriating behaviour of that kernel, where it would forcibly set the firmware load path!!!
The second removes a ton of useless kernel log vomit.
