Afterthought on my previous mail:
By creating something like initialised buffers the total memory usage while booting could even go down. In the current scenario during boot time the (compressed) cpio file is there, but the buffer memory is also allocated. If there is a possibility to have initialised caches the amount of memory used by the (compressed) cpio file is not needed. This could be beneficial for embedded systems that are low on memory. (and yes, I know the memory used by the cpio file is reclaimed later).
Frans.
