initramfs-kexec+friends.patch

The mtdpartition for zauri is to small for current kernels. Here is an recipe
that  creates a statical linked (against klibc) mount and dash and statical
linked (against glibc) kexec. The /init scripts mounts the rootfs and kexecs
/zImage from there. The klibc-utils-static recipe might be nice for other
initramfs images. The  initramfs-kexec-image is 307 KB big. This works on
collie. Other machine probably need to override ROOTDEV and ROOTFS in
initramfs-kexec*.bb.
