Cool, well ACK if you have tested these and now that Chris gave his
permission for re-licensing.

Since these scripts only work with initrd injection, I think we need
some kind of indication xml & api to indicate the need for that to the
Apps. Perhaps a boolean 'initrd-injection-required' in the script xml
and corresponding getter on InstallScript class?
