Subject: [PATCH] INITRAMFS: Add option to preserve mtime from INITRAMFS
	cpio images

From: Nye Liu <nyet@...t.org>

When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs. For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the
initramfs, this is invaluable.

Signed-off-by: Nye Liu <nyet@...t.org>
