Bug#483431: initrd size

[Robert Millan <rmh@aybabtu.com>]

Regarding the question on initrd size as discussed on IRC:

  - I notice that support for MTD devices is not really useful, since D-I
    doesn't support using them as root filesystem yet, anyway.

  - As for booting from MMC, this dir is smaller than the other one.  If
    you only want to add the modules needed for OLPC, these are:

60K     mmc/core/mmc_core.ko
16K     mmc/card/mmc_block.ko
24K     mmc/host/sdhci.ko

    although just for a few more kiBs you get to support all kinds of SD
    cards, which I'd expect could become a popular install option in general
    PC hardware:

16K     mmc/card/sdio_uart.ko
16K     mmc/host/mmc_spi.ko
8,0K    mmc/host/ricoh_mmc.ko
16K     mmc/host/tifm_sd.ko
20K     mmc/host/wbsd.ko

Thanks
