[PATCH] multiple changes in generate_netboot_iso in actio_buildiso.py

[Jörgen Maas]

Hi,

Some changes in the generate_netboot_iso function/code:
- Users had to supply all system names on the commandline which they
wanted to include in the ISO boot menu. This patch changes that
behaviour; all systems are included by default now. You can still
provide an override with the --systems parameter, thus making this
feature more consistent with what one might expect from reading the
help.
- While at it I tried to make the code more readable and removed some
unneeded iterations.
- Prevent some unneeded kernel/initrd copies.
- You can now override ip/netmask/gateway/dns parameters with
corresponding kernel_options.
- Fixed a bug for SuSE systems where ksdevice should be netdevice.
- If no ksdevice/netdevice (or equivalent) has been supplied via
kernel_options try to guess the proper interface to use, but don't
just use one if we can't be sure about it (e.g. for multihomed
systems).

I merged everything off of your master branch except for the bits
removing sub_process. Thanks.
