  config INITRAMFS_SOURCE
  	string "Initramfs source file(s)"
  	default ""
  	help
  	  This can be either a single cpio archive with a .cpio suffix or a
  	  space-separated list of directories and files for building the
  	  initramfs image.  A cpio archive should contain a filesystem archive
  	  to be used as an initramfs image.  Directories should contain a
  	  filesystem layout to be included in the initramfs image.  Files
  	  should contain entries according to the format described by the
  	  "usr/gen_init_cpio" program in the kernel tree.
  
  	  When multiple directories and files are specified then the
  	  initramfs image will be the aggregate of all of them.

  	  This option decides by which algorithm the builtin initramfs
  	  will be compressed.  Several compression algorithms are
  	  available, which differ in efficiency, compression and
  	  decompression speed.  Compression speed is only relevant
  	  when building a kernel.  Decompression speed is relevant at
  	  each boot.

  	help
  	  Do not compress the built-in initramfs at all. This may
  	  sound wasteful in space, but, you should be aware that the
  	  built-in initramfs will be compressed at a later stage
  	  anyways along with the rest of the kernel, on those
  	  architectures that support this.
  	  However, not compressing the initramfs may lead to slightly
  	  higher memory consumption during a short time at boot, while
  	  both the cpio image and the unpacked filesystem image will
  	  be present in memory simultaneously
