[klibc] kinit now handles both ipconfig and nfsroot
I just checked in changes to kinit, such that it is now a single 29KB executable that replaces the kernel's ipconfig and nfsroot code. The kinit code isn't very elegant, but I figured it was better to save space than to fully generalise it so that it could be extended in a sort of modular fashion. If someone wants modularity, I figure they can spend the few extra KB and run the standalone ipconfig and nfsmount programs. I've tested the ipconfig, nfsmount, and kinit code, and they all behave themselves. Note, however, that I haven't had time to try kinit in an initramfs environment yet. Peter, I think it may be worth rolling a 0.82 release and asking for testers on lkml. <b
