Add third argument to add_full_dir: strip_prefix. The strip_prefix will be stripped off from the destination path (path in the initramfs image) when adding files. Rationale: Make it easier to add rootfs overlay hooks when generating images. add_full_dir can be invoked in this way: add_full_dir /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay * /path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay The above invocation will add all content of */path/on/parent/rootfs-overlay* into */* in the initramfs image.
