the larger padding in the initramfs is kind of annoying as i cant see
any need to pad it to PAGE_SIZE.  since the initramfs is released with
the rest of the init section, it doesnt need whole pages.  a quick
test shows that it does waste a few kb in reality.  default build for
BF533-STAMP for example shows 0x1000 difference.

in terms of correctness, this change misses a reference to the now
deleted .init.ramfs:
-       .init.ramfs :
-       {
-       .....
-       }
-
       .text_l1 L1_CODE_START : AT(LOADADDR(.init.ramfs) + SIZEOF(.init.ramfs))

so that .text_l1 needs to updated to refer to the new section before
it (.exit.data in this case).  once i make that change, the resulting
link looks the same (minus the initramfs thing mentioned earlier), and
it does boot.
