The way we develop is that we make changes to the kernel, commit it to
git, then:

	make clean distclean
	make xo_1-kernel-rpm

(or xo_1_5-kernel-rpm)


Then you have a kernel RPM that you can install on the XO, which will
take care of the initramfs for you.

If you choose to develop another way then you're going to have to look
carefully at the rpm spec file and make sure that you reproduce all the
little things that it does.
