Thanks glebfm@ for spotting that it's = instead of +=
as it goes in all the other places; I remember no good
reason to overwrite the potentially preexisting contents.
Overview of the changes:
- ARM support: separate ext2 /boot, no LILO
- avoid race condition with devmapper
- trap ERR so that -e in shebang doesn't result in extra cleanup hassle
- configurable root filesystem type (ext4 by default)
- jumps through parted hoops
Details:
1. LILO is x86-specific while the rest of the script can be used
to prepare e.g. Marvell ArmadaXP or CuBox images; we can generally
count on uboot supporting ext2 for relatively sane platforms but
not ext4 that would be a better root filesystem performance-wise.
2. Apparently /dev/mapper/loopXpY can be still missing at the time
when kpartx returns and pop up a bit later... sit there, wait
and check for it.
3. If something went wrong with any command of the script it would bail out
due to -e in shebang; it is now better to clean up the loopback device
and its mappings in this situation either.
4. One size doesn't fit all, really.
5. The parted sizing was sloppy as in broken, now it's just half insane.
Someone's decision to stick units and auto-alignment knobs into
a single one was apparently hilarious...

Manual loop/dm cleanup is described in documentation just in case.
/boot size meter is suboptimal in terms of additional I/O incurred,
will be most likely rewritten to make use of advance "du -s".
