[PATCH] Make initramfs printk a warning on incorrect cpio type

Browse Source 
It turns out that the "-c" option of cpio is highly unportable even between
distros let alone unix variants, and may actually make the wrong type of
cpio archive.  I just wasted quite some time on this, and the kernel can
detect this and warn about it (it's __init memory so it gets thrown away
and thus there is no runtime overhead)
