As I said before ("Re: [OE-core] [PATCH v6 1/1] initramfs-framework:
module to support boot live image" from July 31st), I consider it a
mistake that support for live boot with all its dependencies was added
directly to initramfs-framework.bb.

I was in a hurry at the time and therefore didn't file a bug, but I can
also do that.

Let's not dig us deeper into this hole and instead split out the live
boot module into its own, arch-specific recipe.

Then initramfs-framework can become allarch without having to make
layer.conf more complicated.
