[arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH 1/4] /run/initramfs: keep a copy of the initramfs

[Tom Gundersen]

This is useful for the future shutdown hook, and might make debugging easier,
as well as potentially opening up for other usecases (that I cannot yet imagine ;-) ).

For the time being we exclude the kernel modules, this decision could be revisited in
the future.
