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

From: Rob Landley
Date: Tue Jul 16 2013 - 19:45:58 EST


From: Rob Landley <rob@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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