+This document describes one way to create the initrd directory hierarchy
+in order to allow an initrd to be built into your kernel.  The trick
+here is to steal the initrd file used on your Linux laptop, Ubuntu in
+this case.  There are probably much better ways of doing this.
+
+That said, here are the commands:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+zcat /initrd.img > /tmp/initrd.img.zcat
+mkdir initrd
+cd initrd
+cpio -id < /tmp/initrd.img.zcat
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Interestingly enough, if you are running rcutorture, you don't really
+need userspace in many cases.  Running without userspace has the
+advantage of allowing you to test your kernel independently of the
+distro in place, the root-filesystem layout, and so on.  To make this
+happen, put the following script in the initrd's tree's "/init" file,
+with 0755 mode.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+#!/bin/sh
+
+[ -d /dev ] || mkdir -m 0755 /dev
+[ -d /root ] || mkdir -m 0700 /root
+[ -d /sys ] || mkdir /sys
+[ -d /proc ] || mkdir /proc
+[ -d /tmp ] || mkdir /tmp
+mkdir -p /var/lock
+mount -t sysfs -o nodev,noexec,nosuid sysfs /sys
+mount -t proc -o nodev,noexec,nosuid proc /proc
+# Some things don't work properly without /etc/mtab.
+ln -sf /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
+
+# Note that this only becomes /dev on the real filesystem if udev's scripts
+# are used; which they will be, but it's worth pointing out
+if ! mount -t devtmpfs -o mode=0755 udev /dev; then
+	echo "W: devtmpfs not available, falling back to tmpfs for /dev"
+	mount -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 udev /dev
+	[ -e /dev/console ] || mknod --mode=600 /dev/console c 5 1
+	[ -e /dev/kmsg ] || mknod --mode=644 /dev/kmsg c 1 11
+	[ -e /dev/null ] || mknod --mode=666 /dev/null c 1 3
