This is also one of the reasons why an initramfs is useful. Linus basically decided that it makes far more sense to have userspace manage this stuff than the kernel, and the initramfs is the way this is accomplished during boot. They didn't remove the existing kernel functionality, but they're not going to be investing in it. -- Rich
