Use consistent whitespace for all `progress "..."` lines.
Don't mount $disk if it is not set (e.g. in the installer).
Don't check for /storage/$OVERLAY_DIR, just create it.
Move the overlay functionality into an if statement.
Don't move /storage if $disk is not set (e.g. in the installer).

This fixes overlay mount so it doesn't add $OVERLAY_DIR at the end of the
parameter list.
Kernel commandline parameter 'overlay' should now work for both NFS and
CIFS/SMB mounts, but alas, busybox CIFS mount doesn't (yet) support subdir
mounts (regular mount does). Leaving this in for posterity.

When debugging, any information about the problem is valuable, so don't
suppress output.
Add a variable: SILENT_OUT whose value is the file descriptor to use for
commands that should normally be silent.
Idea taken from buildsystem's config/path , and slightly shortened.

Example usage:
disk=CIFS=//192.168.1.1/share,user=name,password=secret
disk=SMB=//192.168.1.1/public,user=guest
Note: comma's ',' are not allowed in
CIFS options (for example in usernames or passwords) because they are used
to separate options.
Note: SMB is an alias for CIFS, for people who are more used to that name.

Adds a new kernel commandline parameter: overlay , which enables multiple
clients to use a single configuration file while keeping their storage mounts
separate. For the given example, the storage mounts will be under
/var/lib/overlay/<mac-address>
This will only work with mount types which support subdirectory mounts.
Example usage: disk=NFS=192.168.1.1:/var/lib/overlay overlay
