[Ming Liu]

Hi,

I need do more work on this patch, and will send the V1 soon, please ignore
this for now.

> So far, there is not a workable way to package the initramfs bundled kernel
> image, the only place is tmp/deploy from where we could get it, but if a
> user want to add it into a certain image, there is no guarantee that he
> will achieve it because a explicit dependency is missing between package
> and bundle_initramfs, and this was designed to avoid introducing circular
> dependencies when using kernel modules in the initramfs image.bb that is
> caused by kernel.bbclass trying to build the initramfs before the kernel
> packaging.
>
> To fix this problem, the idea is to split the initramfs bundled kernel
> packaging to a new recipe, make the do_install depend on kernel's deploy
> task, then with the following config:
>
> IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "kernel-initramfs"
>
> The initramfs bundled kernel could be added to the image without
> introducing any circular dependencies.
