Subject: [PATCH 5/5] initmpfs v2: Use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified.

From: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>

Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior,
and use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic
reasons).

Signed-off-by: Rob Landley <rob@...dley.net>
