[ at least fat/vfat/ext3 + mmc modules are currently (kp50) not linked in ]

That way we wouldn't need an initfs and it would make booting off-NAND Maemo directly via U-boot much easier?
Not possible. Kernel nand area has 2MB and we store both u-boot and zImage to this area. So increasing size of u-boot or zImage is not possible due to 2MB limitation. We are happy that 2MB is enought for current u-boot and current kernel-power.

So you need to find alternative solution (with initfs or custom kernel stored in MyDocs...)
