There is no good reason to mess with file descriptors from in-kernel
code, switch the initrd loading to struct file based read and writes
instead.

Also Pass an explicit offset instead of ->f_pos, and to make that easier,
use file scope file structs and offsets everywhere except for
identify_ramdisk_image instead of the current strange mix.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
