[Buildroot] RFC: initramfs & fakeroot

Hrmmm,

A normal non-priv user cannot create an iniramfs image, makedevs borks
out with operation not permitted on the device files.

1. Why even use makedevs? why not parse the device file list directly
into gen_initramfs_list.sh?

2. Would one even require fakeroot then? all its doing is hiding errors
and creating files instead of devs?

Maybe I'm missing something?
