Subject: initramfs: add option to preserve mtime from initramfs cpio images
From: Nye Liu <nyet@xxxxxxxx>
When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs. For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the
initramfs, this is invaluable.
