First initramfs.cpio.gz built into the kernel, second initramfs.cpio.gz supplied as an external file via the initrd mechanism. Both get extracted into the same rootfs, and I believe external one will overwrite the internal one if files conflict.

Based on this and HPA's response, I definitely stand corrected.
