Impact: Kconfig clarification
Make it clear that the CONFIG_RD_* options are about what formats are
supported, not about what formats are actually being used.

Impact: reduce Kconfig noise
Move the options that control possible initramfs/initrd compressions
underneath CONFIG_EMBEDDED. The only impact of leaving these options
set to y is additional code in the init section of the kernel; there
is no reason to burden non-embedded users with these options.

Impact: Avoids silent environment dependency
Make builtin initramfs compression an explicit configurable. The
previous version would pick a compression based on the binaries which
were installed on the system, which could lead to unexpected results.
It is now explicitly configured, and not having the appropriate
binaries installed on the build host is simply an error.

Impact: Resolves build failures in some configurations
Makes it possible to disable CONFIG_RD_GZIP . In that case, the
built-in initramfs will be compressed by whatever compressor is
available (bzip2 or lzma) or left uncompressed if none is available.
It also removes a couple of warnings which occur when no ramdisk
compression at all is chosen.
It also restores the select ZLIB_INFLATE in drivers/block/Kconfig
which somehow came missing. This is needed to activate compilation of
the stuff in zlib_deflate.

Impact: Partial resolution of build failure
Move the initrd/initramfs configuration options from
drivers/block/Kconfig to usr/Kconfig, since they do not and should not
depend on CONFIG_BLK_DEV. This fixes builds when CONFIG_BLK_DEV=n.

Modify gen_init_cpio so that lines that specify files can contain
what looks like a shell variable that's expanded during processing.
For example:
file /sbin/kinit ${RFS_BASE}/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0
given RFS_BASE is "/some/directory" in the environment
would be expanded to
file /sbin/kinit /some/directory/usr/src/klibc/kinit/kinit 0755 0 0
If several environment variables appear in a line, they are all expanded
with processing happening from left to right.
Undefined variables expand to a null string.
Syntax errors stop processing, letting the existing error handling
show the user offending line.
This patch helps embedded folks who frequently create several
RFS directories and then switch between them as they're tuning
an initramfs.

Extend usr/gen_init_cpio.c "file" entry, adding support for hard links.
Previous format:
file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid>
New format:
file <name> <location> <mode> <uid> <gid> [<hard links>]
The hard links specification is optional, keeping the previous
behaviour.
All hard links are defined sequentially in the resulting cpio and the
file data is present only in the last link. This is the behaviour of
GNU's cpio and is supported by the kernel initramfs extractor.

The file init/initramfs.c is always compiled and linked in the kernel
vmlinux even when BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INITRD are disabled and the
system isn't using any form of an initramfs or initrd. In this situation
the code is only used to unpack a (static) default initial rootfilesystem.
The current init/initramfs.c code. usr/initramfs_data.o compiles to a size
of ~15 kbytes. Disabling BLK_DEV_RAM and BLK_DEV_INTRD shrinks the kernel
code size with ~60 Kbytes.
This patch avoids compiling in the code and data for initramfs support if
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not defined. Instead of the initramfs code and
data it uses a small routine in init/noinitramfs.c to setup an initial
static default environment for mounting a rootfilesystem later on in the
kernel initialisation process. The new code is: 164 bytes of size.
The patch is separated in two parts:
1) doesn't compile initramfs code when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set
2) changing all plaforms vmlinux.lds.S files to not reserve an area of
PAGE_SIZE when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is not set.

Fix bug 7401.
Handle more than one source dir or file list to the initramfs gen scripts.
The Kconfig help for INITRAMFS_SOURCE claims that you can specify multiple
space-separated sources in order to allow unprivileged users to build an
image. There are two bugs in the current implementation that prevent this
from working.
First, we pass "file1 dir2" to the gen_initramfs_list.sh script, which it
obviously can't open.
Second, gen_initramfs_list.sh -l outputs multiple definitions for
deps_initramfs -- one for each argument.

When a file supplied via CONFIG_INITRAMFS pointed to a file
for which kbuild had a rule to compile it (foo.c => foo.o)
then kbuild would compile the file before adding the
file to the initramfs.
Teach make that files included in initramfs shall not be updated by adding
an 'empty command'. (See "Using Empty Commands" in info make).

initramfs.cpio.gz being build in usr/ and included in the
kernel was not rebuild when the included files changed.
To fix this the following was done:
- let gen_initramfs.sh generate a list of files and directories included
in the initramfs
- gen_initramfs generate the gzipped cpio archive so we could simplify
the kbuild file (Makefile)
- utilising the kbuild infrastructure so when uid/gid root mapping changes
the initramfs will be rebuild
With this change we have a much more robust initramfs generation.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
