[RFC] Add ram boot option to default obmc-phosphor-image recipe

This adds the obmc-phosphor-initfs-ram package which packages the
initramfs-options-base to run from RAM.

This is really more of an example than suggestion, and was created
while exploring packaging options.  If we were to run with this
option, no updates would be written to the flash, except possibly
by random invocations of the update script.

Build Status

Building

OpenBMC uses Yocto/Open-Embedded for a build system, which supports an out-of-tree build. It is recommended that you create an empty directory somewhere to hold the build. This directory will get big.

On Ubuntu 14.04 the following packages are required to build the default target

sudo apt-get install -y git build-essential libsdl1.2-dev texinfo gawk chrpath diffstat

On Fedora 23 the following packages are required to build the default target:

sudo dnf install -y git patch diffstat texinfo chrpath SDL-devel bitbake
sudo dnf groupinstall "C Development Tools and Libraries"

To start a build:

cd <builddir>
. <repodir>/openbmc-env
bitbake obmc-phosphor-image
