I am skeptical that we are ready for this. Not all non-x86 boot loaders
are capable of handling multiple initrd's, and various types of netboot
wont do it either. This is a very late time to rely upon such a new
feature for something this important.
cpio archives can be concatenated, right? It seems like a
straightforward workaround.
