kernel 3.4+ needs cifs-utils to mount CIFS filesystems.
the kernel itself (and busybox's cifs mount code) are no longer able
to do this in some/most cases and will error out saying:
"CIFS VFS: connecting to DFS root not implemented yet"
Nixos' qemu-vm target is hurt by this, as it wants to mount /nix/store
via cifs very early in the boot process.
This commit makes sure the initrd for affected kernels is built with
cifs-utils if needed.

this commit just marks the problematic kernels.
An associated commit in nixos will use this info to fix the problem.
proxy_arp (and proxy_ndp for ipv6) can be turned on on a few
interfaces (at least 2).
This is mainly useful for creating pseudo-bridges between a real
interface and a virtual network such as VPN or a virtual machine for
interfaces that don't support real bridging (most wlan interfaces).
As ARP proxying acts slightly above the link-layer, below-ip traffic
isn't bridged, so things like DHCP won't work. The advantage above
using NAT lies in the fact that no IP addresses are shared, so all
hosts are reachable/routeable.
spice is a next-generation remote desktop protocol, aimed at virtual
machines.
focus is not just on display/input devices, but clipboard, audio,
video, opengl, smartcards, usb devices as well, no matter if the
virtual machine runs locally or on a remote host.
not everything is implemented yet, and I didn't enable all available
features yet.
Currently, spice is able to make qemu-kvm virtual machines very usable
for workstation guests, with good 2d video support, clipboard sharing,
full resolutions, auto-mouse-grab/ungrab, xinerama / multiple guest
monitors. Good drivers for windows 7 guests are available, as well as
linux Xorg drivers / agents.
Basically, kvm was already the best-performing VM solution (using
virtio drivers), but virtualbox, while slower, had better
desktop-integration support (still wins if you want opengl). Spice
fixes this, making the choice very easy.
Passing install_root=$out isn't a good idea because the install script is going
to pre-pend that prefix to all other paths even though these have the $out
prefix already. The resulting installation is a mess. Instead, we use the
"fake" install prefix "out" and then move all files and directories into the
right place afterward.
adding useful function foldAttr which behave like fold on attr values grouped by name
(without assertions now)
