Bug Description

[Impact]

The impact is two-fold:

(a) The udev rules were tuning the performance for GCE's specific environment, so users are seeing a substantial performance hit in some cases.

(b) Google's users expect to be able to configure the Google daemons to log their output to the console, which is no longer possible.

[Test Case]

(a) /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler should show noop as the selected scheduler.
(b) Adding https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/compute-image-packages/blob/master/google_config/rsyslog/90-google.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d and rebooting should cause logging from GCE's daemons to show up in the serial console. An example line:

Feb 15 11:17:03 zesty-170215-1113 startup-script: INFO Starting startup scripts.

[Regression Potential]

There is limited regression potential, as the rules have been recommended for use by GCE.

I've built images from -proposed for both xenial and yakkety and confirmed that this is fixed. These images also passed our other automated testing.

This was fixed in trusty via switching to gce-compute-image-packages; a specific upload with the bug number wasn't required, so this didn't get auto-closed.
