Plus the drivers for various hardware like cciss devices, just having
ext4 built in is not enough. Wouldn't it be better to have a simple
initramfs with just the apropiate modules for the hardware? Which is
e.g. a copy from /lib/modules/<version>/initrd/ where modules reside
that are needed for a root fs to be mounted.
