For whoever was asking about initrd-dynamic, I stuck what Dave C. sent me on
my website after checking with him. It can be found in the new experimental
directory of my kernel tree:
http://lrp.steinkuehler.net/kernel/experimental/rd.dyn.c
Since I've spent all of about 30 seconds looking at this, you now know as
much about it as I do. From conversations with Dave, I believe it is based
on some work someone sent him that decompresses & untars the initial ramdisk
archive in-place, rather than using /dev/ram1 as a ping-pong buffer, which
is what the previous code did. Dave's recent goal has been to get multiple
tar.gz files loaded and uncompressed by the kernel at boot time, allowing
the boot-loader to do system customization (thereby allowing the packaging
system to not have to worry about boot-strapping a partially functional
system, but just which packages to load).
