While for limited amounts of configuration information the kernel command line may be suitable, it isn't when it comes to significant amounts of configurable entities that need to be set before the full kernel infrastructure is available. This patch adds functionality to pass one or more configuration files through the initrd, but without requiring knowledge of the actual structure (including compression) of it; the file(s) is/are attached to the end of the already built initrd (which obviously depends on external scripts not provided here).
