iPXE allows individual raw files to be automatically wrapped with suitable CPIO headers and injected into the magic initrd image as exposed to a booted Linux kernel. This feature is currently limited to placing files within directories that already exist in the initrd filesystem. Remove this limitation by adding the ability for iPXE to construct CPIO headers for parent directories as needed, under control of the "mkdir=<n>" command-line argument. For example: initrd config.ign /usr/share/oem/config.ign mkdir=1 will create CPIO headers for the "/usr/share/oem" directory as well as for the "/usr/share/oem/config.ign" file itself. This simplifies the process of booting operating systems such as Flatcar Linux, which otherwise require the single "config.ign" file to be manually wrapped up as a CPIO archive solely in order to create the relevant parent directory entries. The value <n> may be used to control the number of parent directory entries that are created. For example, "mkdir=2" would cause up to two parent directories to be created (i.e. "/usr/share" and "/usr/share/oem" in the above example). A negative value such as "mkdir=-1" may be used to create all parent directories up to the root of the tree. Do not create any parent directory entries by default, since doing so would potentially cause the modes and ownership information for existing directories to be overwritten.
