Good examples for initrd/initramfs. But that's not the point.

These recipes create cpio.gz images but not images ready for u-boot. Such images need to be wrapped with [uboot-]mkimage similar to kernel uImages. Would be great to have support for this in a central place, to be able to choose e.g. cpio.gz.uimage in IMAGE_FSTYPES.
