This exists. You can built initramfs right into the kernel. I've been doing
it here for quite some time. You just tell the kernel either:
* where to find a filespec so it knows what to include in the initramfs
* what directory contains everything you want in the initramfs
and then the kernel builds is and attaches it to itself during 'make'
It's actually pretty trivial
