linux-initrd: Copy all the script's closure to the initrd.
* gnu/system/linux-initrd.scm (expression->initrd): Remove calls to
  'imported-modules' and 'compiled-modules'.  Use 'gexp->script' with
  EXP.  Add the result to TO-COPY.  Make /init a symlink to that script,
  and copy its closure into the "contents" directory.  Add fake
  /proc/self/exe symlink.
* gnu/build/linux-boot.scm (load-linux-module*): Add comment about mmap.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-qemu-image/shared-store-script): Add "-m
  256".  This turns out to be needed for initrds containing things like
  e2fsck and several modules; with the default of 128 MiB, loading
  libahci.ko may fail with -1.
