[oe] initramfs image with secondary cramfs inside

[C Michael Sundius]

ah we do the combining of the two images in a postprocess step after the 2nd
image...

but I wonder if we are to make a dummy preprocess step that will make a
difference...
not sure why that would work.

we'll give it a try.. which version of bitbake are you using?
