    MIPS: Malta: Enable BLK_DEV_INITRD · c47c7ab9
    Nathan Chancellor authored
    This configuration is useful for boot testing malta_defconfig in QEMU
    with just a simple cpio initrd, instead of a full ext4 rootfs.
    
    This results in an increase of ~164KB of vmlinux (with GCC 11.2.0):
    
    $ diskus vmlinux.before
    11.19 MB (11,194,368 bytes)
    
    $ diskus vmlinux.after
    11.36 MB (11,358,208 bytes)
    
    This size increase comes from the fact that usr/Kconfig is sourced when
    CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD is enabled, which defaults to supporting several
    decompression algorithms for compressed initrds. This seems like a
    reasonable tradeoff but these configurations could be disabled in the
    future if there are complaints about the size increase.
