But is broken with powerpc.git for-2.6.22 commit
30437b3e743f33e9b68f813ca24e547aa9fcf7d7

because the kernel now accepts 4 or 8 byte initrd
size and length properties, and the zImage wrapper
generatest the 4-byte ones.

I would suggest converting the data to always be
8 bytes for fs2dt; it's too fragile with respect
to alignment to generate one or the other on the
fly (as evidenced by broken device trees when
the command line size crosses 8 bytes).
