[PATCH 1/2] INITRD var: documentation changes

[nitin.a.kamble]

From: Nitin A Kamble <nitin.a.kamble@intel.com>

The use of the INITRD variable is changed in a recent commit. Instead of
specifying a single filesystem image, it specifies a list of file system
images. Reflecting this change in the documentation.

This isn't enough to ask for a resend, but please be a bit more explicit
in what is going on in future commit messages, for example:

INITRD: Cleanup file tests and report errors

The null string test (-n) is no longer necessary as it is inherent in the
for loop.

If the INITRD file element is missing or of zero size, abort with bbfatal.
