kernel: initramfs: Add initial OMAR port
CPIO is very outdated and its implementations varies on different hosts, best to use OSMORA Archive Format (OMAR) instead! Signed-off-by: Ian Moffett <ian@osmora.org>

+------------------------------
+OMAR - OSMORA Archive Format
+------------------------------
+
+OMAR is a minimal, bullshit free archive format aimed to replace
+the old and outdated CPIO (copy in/out) format.
+
+OMAR is designed for readonly in-memory filesystems (such as initramfs),
+with simplicity, clarity and "getting it done" in mind.
