I’m looking for volunteers to add support in the kernel to manage cpio filesystem.  
For example, only a FAT-formatted initrd is supported which is not really convenient.  
The implementation of cpio should follow the VFS file operations requirements (see fat for a model).  
Any interested can announce and a specific branch will be created for this purpose.
