Details

When install arch in diskless system, the shutdown scripts seems be buggy.
It try to bring down the network and then to do some other housekeeping works.

But in diskless systems, the rootfs is accessed by NFS. So if network is down,
rootfs will not be accessed anymore, so the shutdonw script will not continue.

If no one care that, I'll spend some time to fix it.
This task depends upon

ok, here is the patch, I do tested it.
If it can be merged into the main stream, I'll be very glad.
NOTE: It is not an overall solution, some codes are needed to
judge whether we are in diskless configuration..................................,

We should really implement this inside the network scripts, they should look up a configuration variable that tells them that network must never be shut down.
