[ksefltest] initrd/ramdisk based kselftest pipeline

[quic-ylal]

Hi Team,

I was trying to enable kselftest pipeline for Qualcomm platforms using initrd/ramdisk but looks like kself test pipeline only support nfs ( pls correct me if my finding is not correct).

Can we enable initrd/ramdisk based kselftest, as not every system supports nfs boot and root.

Hi there!
Thanks for bringing this up! We haven't extensively tested the initrd/ramdisk kselftest yet, mainly due to concerns about RAM consumption on systems with limited memory. However, I think it's worth giving it a try to see how it performs in practice.
Let's enable it and monitor how it goes. We can always adjust if we run into any memory-related issues.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
