This is a good idea but the patchset does a bit too much and it's pretty convoluted and mixes cleanups with the removal of initrd support and so it's not that great to review let alone merge especially considering that a revert might be needed. Split it up into multiple patch series. Send a first series that focusses only on removing the generic infrastructure keeping it as contained as possible. Only do non-generic cleanups that are absolutely essential for the removal. Then the cleanups can go in separate series later. As usual I'm happy to try to shed old code but I wouldn't be too optimistic that we'll get away with this and if so it needs to be surgical.
