Now Kconfig and Documentation/early-userspace/README reference the usage
output of usr/gen_init_cpio instead of reproducing the file format
information.  This way there is no redundant information that gets out
of synch.  The drawback is that usr/gen_init_cpio has to be built before
it can be run to obtain the usage information.

Jeff refused to change his name to my new spelling so I have reluctantly
altered the comment so that it reads "Original work by Jeff
Garzik" (sic.). :)
