Hi All,

I discovered that there was a bug with the code dealing with initrd in the new
elilo released as part of gnu-efi-2.0. The ramdisk would get freed by the kernel
right at initialization time before ever being used because the EFI memory
type used was wrong. The attached patch fixes the problem.

Please try it out and let me know how it goes.

Thanks.
