+ Defines the maximum allowed size of the initramfs image in kilobytes.
+ The build will fail if the initramfs image size exceeds this value.

+ The initramfs image size undergoes several calculation steps before being
+ compared to :term:`INITRAMFS_MAXSIZE`.
+ These steps are the same as those used for :term:`IMAGE_ROOTFS_MAXSIZE`
+ and are described in detail in that entry.

+ Thus, :term:`INITRAMFS_MAXSIZE` is compared with the result of the calculations
+ and is independent of the final image type.
