Subject: [PATCH] Generate reproducible initramfs images

With the same source of files, it should be possible to generate the

same image file with every dracut run.

To accomplish this, we modify the timestamps of the files we generate at

runtime, call gzip with "-n" and cpio with "--reproducible".

The cpio --reproducible option is not yet upstream though, so if you

feel like it should be then please nag at the cpio mailing list.
