Encounter error when install SONiC image if there are some onie_discovery variables assigned with multiple values inside machine.conf
- How I did it
Replace original ". /machine.conf" method and add another function to do the same thing.
- How to verify it
Add a item inside /host/machine.conf like onie_disco_ntpsrv=10.254.141.10 10.254.141.131
Do sonic_installer install to check if any error occurs
In order to install a SONiC image on top of a NVMe SSD disc properly with ONIE we must configure it properly on the installer.sh script.

Usually for a use case like networking - should not be configured to reach c6, the maximum used is c1e – due to the added latency getting in & out of states (bad for networking).
Following a recommendation by Intel, networking system should avoid getting in & out of states which introduce latency. The recommended state is c1e and no state change enabling.
In addition, c-state sole purpose is to save power and when inside a networking switch its really negligent being such a tiny consumer vs. the whole cluster.

when device disk is small, do not unzip dockerfs.tar.gz on disk.
keep the tar file on the disk, unzip to tmpfs in the initrd phase.

commit 0965b33 added quote to build_version in /etc/sonic/sonic_version.yml,
e.g., sonic_version : '20170104.10'. scripts to use the $sonic_version need
to remove the quote.

moving to initramfs unifies disk allocate on different platforms.
use fallocate instead of dd to speed up the disk allocation.
By default, mkfs.ext4 has -E discard option which discards the blocks
at the mkfs time, also speed up the initialization time.
1. "make target/sonic-broadcom.raw" will create the compressed dd'able image.
2. This will also update the grub config files (device/dell/*/nos_to_sonic_grub.cfg) with the image versions.
