Summary:                    Removing initramfs has not complete support
Description: 
After initramfs has been enabled (BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS=y) 'make'
recompile the entire kernel properly. Deletion of binaries/$project does
not hurt anything because 'make' redo all files in that directory. 

After initramfs has been disabled (# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_INITRAMFS is not
set) clear the binaries/$project directory still does not hurt because
there will be no any kernel recompilation until 'make linux26-menuconfig'
take place and then:

Proposed solution: 

  linux CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE should be reset to "" void value

in order to trigger the reset event 

 1) make should verify the previous .config values which has been changed
and acts accordingly

 2) make should save the current .config into a
project_build_$ARCH/$project/previous.config

 Please take a look to checkconfig.patch
