Irrelevant. initramfs is *not* immutable. It has different modules in it depending on what hardware you have. Further, you *still* need the module and firmware hash lists in either the kernel or the initramfs to be loaded into kernel memory before you load the first module because you have to check the hash on it. Or are you suggesting a tree of hashed nodes that have leaves that are the hashes of the modules so you can save a subtree?
