[PATCH] Use ".incbin" for initramfs image build

This makes initramfs use ".incbin" to include a binary blob into the
object file, instead of using LDFLAGS_BLOB, which isn't supported on all
architectures.

This will require reasonably modern binutils, but is portable.

This is the last thing that keeps the standard tree from building
directly for ia64.
