Your code doesn't clear out the initramfs at all (well, it does in the script, 
but it leaves a bunch of stuff in place); other than that, it does very little 
more: it does a bunch of safety checks to make sure it doesn't wipe a reap 
filesysttem, and it does the console redirection mainly so that all fds get 
opened O_RDWR.

By moving the filesystem wiping into run-init we can delete everything, 
including run-init itself.
