one more quick change that I've realized will be necessary: add a
bootloader-targets field to boot-parameters. some bootloaders would
need target info to know where to install config files, and
reinstall-bootloader doesn't have access to the operating-system
record. rollbacks to generations pre-field addition shouldn't be an
issue with this either, as existing bootloaders (sans depthcharge?) do
just fine without targets.

all in all, bootloader-installer and bootloader-config-file-installer
would be procedures that return gexps, with the following signatures:

* (installer entries #:key bootcfg mount-offset generation old-entries
   store-crypto-devices store-directory-prefix locale)
* (config-file-installer entries #:key package targets mount-offset
   generation old-entries store-crypto-devices store-directory-prefix
   locale)

mount-offset is the current target, and old-entries becomes an alist with
generation numbers.
