Sorry, but you screwed it up completely.

geninitrdsz would still generate a working patch file for the initrd
size. However, we now also need to patch the initrd load address.
So IBM provides a new tool geninitrdpatch, which generates a patch
for *both load address and size of initrd* and thus happens to replace
geninitrdsz.

See below for more issues.

 * Takes an integer argument as initrd load address,
 * a filename of an initrd to determine its size, and
 * a filename of the output patch file.
 * Writes out the binary representation of load address and size
 * as two 64 bit big endian integers.

mechanism\n");

patch file]\n", basename(argv[0]));

I know our tool had this with zero, but how can calling the tool
incorrectly exit with a successful error level?

	size = htonl(initrd_stat.st_size);

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546422#c31
says there is a htonl missing since all those values must be big endian
and a new tool source had been attached.

> +    fd = open(argv[2], O_CREAT | O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);

    fd = open(argv[3], O_CREAT | O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);

In order to be able to specify all those funny absolute paths on
mk-images, we want to write to the outfile in the 3rd command line
argument and not overwrite our precious input file initrd.img.

    if (write(fd, &size, sizeof(int)) == -1) {
        perror("writing output patch file (size) ");
        return 5;

This really must be the initrd size as in our tool source and not again
the address.
