7e61918f9d cpio/initramfs: clarify their use in the help text
Recent mails on the list show that it is not very clear how to create
an initial RAM fs with buildroot.  So make this more explicit in the
cpio and initramfs help texts.  Hopefully this will reduce the /init
debugging we have to do.

13a3afc536 fs/initramfs: refactor with fs/cpio
An initramfs is in fact the same as a cpio archive, but embedded in
the kernel.  So instead of duplicating the cpio infrastructure,
we can simply build images/rootfs.cpio and link that into the
kernel.
