[PATCH 3/3] kernel-initramfs: new recipe, creates initramfs bundled kernel packaging

[Ming Liu <liu.ming50@gmail.com>]

From: Ming Liu <peter.x.liu@external.atlascopco.com>

So far, there is not a workable way to package the initramfs bundled kernel
image, the only place is tmp/deploy from where we could get it, but if a
user want to add it into a certain image, there is no guarantee that he
will achieve it because a explicit dependency is missing between package
and bundle_initramfs, and this was designed to avoid introducing circular
dependencies when using kernel modules in the initramfs image.bb that is
caused by kernel.bbclass trying to build the initramfs before the kernel
packaging.

To fix this problem, the idea is to split the initramfs bundled kernel
packaging to a new recipe, make the do_install depend on kernel's deploy
task, then with the following config:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " kernel-initramfs"

The initramfs bundled kernel could be added to the image without
introducing any circular dependencies.
