If you have patches that do something just before the initrd, and then
you add more patches to shut down immediately after an initrd, people
may ask you to just use an initrd instead of filling the kernel with
these changes...
I mean, I get it, but it's not hard to make an initrd that poke a sysctl
to start the tests...
In fact, you don't even need a initrd to poke sysctls these days.
