So, if systemd is required and to respect other VIRTUAL_RUNTIME vars, need to
double the initramfs size to 128 MB.
Yes, maybe systemd recipe in OE-Core needs more granular packaging for only
pulling minimal dependencies in order to get even smaller...

I'm not sure this is a fully correct change for the ti-core-initramfs.
It might be fine for the tisdk-tiny-initramfs though.
If I recall, the requirement was for this initramfs to use systemd as
init manager...

License-Update: Moving away from packagegroup-core-boot.bb removed the
LICENSE setting. Just adding it back in.
It looks like we were modelling this initramfs off of the wrong example
from poky. This setup produces a much smaller initramfs.
