I think we are a bit inconsistent here. I'm generally fine taking
changes that are required to boot into rootfs without initramfs,
but would like everything else to be loadable modules.
Android tends to want everything as modules and require an initramfs
for loading them, so I think platforms that are mostly Android
specific lean towards that even for core drivers.
