Subject[patch] add support for squashing uid/gid in gen_initramfs_list.sh
Date
Sometimes it is useful to squash all uid's/gid's to 0:0 regardless of current 
owner. For example, in build systems that get run as arbitrary users
(uClinux-dist). This adds a special "squash" keyword so you can do '-g
squash -u squash' and have ownership squashed to root.
