Subject: initmpfs: use initramfs if rootfstype= or root= specified

Command line option rootfstype=ramfs to obtain old initramfs behavior, and
use ramfs instead of tmpfs for stub when root= defined (for cosmetic
reasons).

 Most systems just mount another filesystem over rootfs and ignore it.  The
 amount of space an empty instance of ramfs takes up is tiny.
