The microchip_icicle_kit, sifive_u, spike and virt boards are now doing
the same steps when '-kernel' is used:
- execute load_kernel()
- load init_rd()
- write kernel_cmdline
Let's fold everything inside riscv_load_kernel() to avoid code
repetition. To not change the behavior of boards that aren't calling
riscv_load_init(), add an 'load_initrd' flag to riscv_load_kernel() and
allow these boards to opt out from initrd loading.

Surely this is simply a bug for those boards. I cannot believe, for instance, that sifive_u should allow initrd and sifive_e must not. Backward compatible behaviour is had simply by not providing the command-line argument. r~

That makes sense but the question here is whether the sifive_e board supports -initrd if the option is provided. I tend to believe that it does, and the current code state is mostly an oversight (we forgot to add load_initrd() support for the board) rather than an intentional design choice, but since I'm not sure about it I opted for playing it safe. If someone can guarantee that the sifive_e and the opentitan boards are capable of -initrd loading I can re-send this patch without the 'load_initrd' flag. Thanks, Daniel > > > r~

Those boards can only boot small scale RTOS-like OSes or baremetal code. Which is why they don't support the -initrd option. I guess there isn't much harm in allowing an initrd, although I'm not really sure when it would be used. Alistair > > > Thanks, > > Daniel > > > > > > > r~ >
