Update the document to reflect that initramfs didn't replace initrd
following kernel 2.5.x.
The initramfs buffer format now supports many compression types in
addition to gzip, so include them in the grammar section.
c_mtime use is dependent on CONFIG_INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME.

Those documents describe a kAPI. So, add to the driver-api
book.
