a26d79ca81 [PATCH] initramfs: handle more than one source dir or file list
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.

d39a206bc3 kbuild: rebuild initramfs if content of initramfs changes
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!
