The init layer needs to be topmost to make sure certain files
are always there (for instance, the ubuntu:12.10 image wrongly
has /dev/shm being a symlink to /run/shm, and we need to override
that). However, previously the devmapper code implemented the
init layer by putting it in the base devmapper device, which meant
layers above it could override these files (so that ubuntu:12.10
broke).
So, instead we put the base layer in *each* images devmapper device.
This is "safe" because we still have the pristine layer data
in the layer directory. Also, it means we diff the container
against the image with the init layer applied, so it won't show
up in diffs/commits.
