Attached is a patch for 2.6 that rewrites how embedded mips ramdisks are
merged into the kernel. It basically replicates the method used by 2.6's
initramfs (for linking in config.gz and such into the kernel, see the files in
usr/ in the source tree).
The upside of this is the resulting ramdisk.o file has all the correct ELF
flags, which is needed for the few o64 targets used (IP32, IP22), and it gets
built to the right ABI (avoiding the binutils error about mixing 32/64bit code).
Tested on Indy R5K, O2 R5K and Cobalt RaQ2.
