I don't think this is going to pass muster.  We just added those in to 
make the initramfs function correctly with the rest of the system post boot.

What is the more in depth reason you want to remove them?  Are they

I'll let Denys chime in more since he did the work to figure out what 
all we needed to add in to make it "correct".
