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.
