3970ebf837 rootfs-cpio: add U-Boot image support
Adds U-Boot image support for cpio root filesystems. This allows you to
use the bootm command in U-Boot to load the rootfs. It makes it possible to
verify the CRC of the initramfs before booting the kernel.

[Spenser: wrote first version of the patch.]

847895d295 fs/common.mk: delay evaluation of variables
This makes things easier to understand and more consistent with the pkg-infra.
For example, it removes the need for '$$@' in the CMD variables of fs/*/*.mk.

It also makes it possible to update the variables later, e.g. in the package
override file.

It also makes sure that the date will be recorded correctly in Yann E. Morin's
patch that logs the MESSAGE macros to a file.

The fs/*/*.mk must be updated as well because the '$@' shouldn't be quoted
anymore in the CMD variables or the hooks.

The $(eval ...) for the dependencies is redundant, because the $(ROOTFS_TARGET)
variable is already eval'd. Note that it is only redundant if the evaluation of
the uses of the variable is also delayed.

e1ebae700a fs/common: Create initial console device
A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel
boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console"

This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not
populated at this point. This can cause problems when a program
(e.g ldso with early debugging enabled) opens a standard file
descriptor for read/write before these descriptors are actually
created by the init process later on.

3fac21ef8d cpio: fix boot with dynamic /dev
Devtmpfs doesn't get automounted by the kernel when an initramfs is used.
Since cpio archives are used almost exclusively as an initramfs, the same
fix should be applied to it as for the initramfs.

Cfr. commit 424888e474 and
10a130f91e.
