The eclass failed to remount a read-only mounted /boot, because package
collision sanity checks in recent Portage versions prevented it from
reaching pkg_preinst() at all. Furthermore, with the "mount-sandbox"
feature enabled, the mount won't be propagated past pkg_preinst() and
installed files would end up under the (shadowed) mount point.

Therefore don't even attempt to mount /boot ourselves, but error out
if it isn't mounted read/write and ask the user to mount /boot.

Also clean up and simplify. (For example, awk is a grown-up program
which doesn't need any help from egrep or sed. :-)

The rest of patch looks ok but I find I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING
proliferation worrying. Having enough eclasses guard things on it I don't
really know what I am doing :)

For example developer profile sets it on by default and disables perl error
checks. I don't think it's intentional.

I suggest giving this variable a unique specific name. And phase out
${I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING} uses from tree completely.

Oh, I forgot that it is set globally in the developer profile (and I
think that's a stupid idea). Indeed we should use a different variable
then.

> I suggest giving this variable a unique specific name.

Would it be acceptable to leave DONT_MOUNT_BOOT in place? It would have
the advantage that users won't have to update their config.

> And phase out ${I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING} uses from tree completely.

That's a separate discussion.

Sounds good.

Sure. As long as we don't add extra uses.
