Problem Description:
gen_initramfs_list.sh concatenates two identical cpio-archives.

Bug in usr/Makefile:
ramfs-input := $(if $(filter-out "",$(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE)), \
                    $(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE),-d)
ramfs-args  := \
        $(if $(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID), -u $(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_UID)) \
        $(if $(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID), -g $(CONFIG_INITRAMFS_ROOT_GID)) \
        $(ramfs-input)
