Currently we have all our elements and library files in a top-level directory and install them into <root>/share/diskimage-builder/[elements|lib] (where root is either / or the root of a virtualenv). The problem with this is that editable/development installs (pip -e) do *not* install data_files. Thus we have no canonical location to look for elements -- leading to the various odd things we do such as a whole bunch of guessing at the top of disk-image-create and having a special test-loader in tests/test_elements.py so we can run python unit tests on those elements that have it. data_files is really the wrong thing to use for what are essentially assets of the program. data_files install works well for things like config-files, init.d files or dropping documentation files. By moving the elements under the diskimage_builder package, we always know where they are relative to where we import from. In fact, pkg_resources has an api for this which we wrap in the new diskimage_builder/paths.py helper [1]. We use this helper to find the correct path in the couple of places we need to find the base-elements dir, and for the paths to import the library shell functions. Elements such as svc-map and pkg-map include python unit-tests, which we do not need tests/test_elements.py to special-case load any more. They just get found automatically by the normal subunit loader. I have a follow-on change (I69ca3d26fede0506a6353c077c69f735c8d84d28) to move disk-image-create to a regular python entry-point. Unfortunately, this has to move to work with setuptools. You'd think a symlink under diskimage_builder/[elements|lib] would work, but it doesn't. [1] this API handles stuff like getting files out of .zip archive modules, which we don't do. Essentially for us it's returning __file__. Change-Id: I5e3e3c97f385b1a4ff2031a161a55b231895df5b |

hpdsa
This is the hpdsa element.
This element enables the 'hpdsa' driver to be included in the ramdisk when invoked during ramdisk/image creation.
This driver is required for deploying the HP Proliant Servers Gen9 with Dynamic Smart Array Controllers.
Note: This element supports only Ubuntu image/ramdisk to be updated with the hpdsa driver. It installs hp certificate from https://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/hpPublicKey2048_key1.pub. Since HP has released this currently only for trusty, It has been restricted to work only for trusty.
