Hi,
I have had a little problem with initramfs, Finally I have
found out that the problem is that when I make a flash image I do an
objcopy of the kernel image to get something which can be flashed.
Unfortunately objcopy thinks that the .init.initramfs is a useless section
and throws it away because it does not have the alloc flag set.
Here is a fix.
