Subject: patch for Documentation/initrd.txt?

I spend hours the other day trying to examine a fedora core 5
initrd file in the mistaken belief that the Documentation/initrd.txt
file might contain relevant information :-). It didn't, but
many web searches later I finally discovered the new key
to decrypting initrd files. Would it be possible to add the
attached patch (or a better one if someone can explain things
in more detail) to the initrd.txt file to avoid future
confusion? Thanks.
