There is a custom "config-image.bb" that seems to replicate some of
Tizen's "platform/upstream/filesystem". In particular it sets smack
attributes of /etc and this new /var/volatile/log, and then
redirects /var/log via symlink to that.

Kevin, can you explain why smack attributes are not set via a manifest
file? Perhaps because ownership of these directories is elsewhere?

Why the /var/log -> /var/volatile/log symlink?

On a related note, patching mkefidisk.sh to mount $HDDIMG_MNT/rootfs.img
with "-o loop,noacl" works around the issue. As far as I can tell, we
should not be using ACLs, so we can ignore them.
