I'm fine with this, although it raises the question if we ought to be
doing anything more than tar rootfs in include files like this. there
are ia32 machines where a live image is not useful (although rare). Most
x86 BSPs would add live - but then again, most x86 BSPs will be starting
to consolidate on the genericx86 BSPs anyway....

But, this is a clear improvement as is.
