What is the problem being solved here? Could you expand a bit on the
"why" this is needed? When you make changes to the root filesystem and
do "make", the initramfs is regenerated, and the kernel image is
regenerated as well with the current Buildroot, so I'm not sure what
this patch is solving.

I'm confused. What is this vmImage thing that you are copying back into
the kernel tree here...

and installing to output/images here?
Thanks,
