A small, static set of userspace like klibc (only 5M unpacked!) with enough
tools for rolling up in a standard initramfs would be especially nice, and
vastly less difficult to import than qemu.

It's a pain in the neck to have to build two versions of lots of bits of
userspace: one stripped down and statically linked for initramfs and one
full-featured for the main system. However, trying to avoid initramfs
altogether is an increasingly losing battle these days, and for quite
understandable reasons.  klibc + md* + mini lvm2 (enough to activate
volumes) perhaps?

Cheers,

Chris.
