There seems to be a link "[1]" here but it's not part of the commit
message.
Can you add it please?

We are here in the "if (img_data.header_version > 2) {" block.
What about boot image v3? Why are we forcing bootconfig upon them?

Also, please move this to a seperate function. It makes
android_image_get_ramdisk() quite long and difficult to read otherwise.

Finally, what happens if a kernel does not have bootconfig enabled ?
I imagine that everything will crash due to this change. Even if
bootconfig is mandatory for boot image v4, I believe we should make this
behaviour optional to avoid breaking existing kernels.
