[klibc] Common base system for initramfs ?

It is my understanding that the main rationale here is to move
functionality from kernel space to user space. So functionality usually
provided in kernel space today but that really belongs to early
userspace will be target for kernel inclusion.

So consider what is included in the kernel as core functionality, what
you add on top of this is what you use to diverge from the rest.
