I'm in the process of testing this version now.


I'm wondering, if bundling everything in a single patchset will delay 
acceptance even further? Case in point - I'm mostly interested in initramfs 
support and it's been in limbo state for several months now. It was a single 
patch back then and there were no major comments or issues with it. Few months 
later, 2 extra patches were added with x86 support. Now recent $B change broke 
few things and we need 2 more patches just to get everything working again...

The reason I'm bringing this up is because I've been working on this area 
recently and would like to contribute back some code (fixes, customizations). 
Since it depends on this patchset, I'm not sure if I should wait for it to get 
accepted or we'll just end up growing the patchset for another iteration...
