[PATCH 1/1] init: Fix ramdisk identification for padded cramfs

From: Neil Armstrong
Date: Thu Jul 28 2011 - 04:22:29 EST


When a cramfs ramdisk padded with 512 bytes is given to the kernel,
the current identify_ramdisk_image function fails to identify it.

Tested with a padded cramfs image on an ARM based board.
