When the kernel command line option "retain_initrd" is set, we do not free the initrd memory. However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.
