Once it's loaded into ramfs, then XIP is unnecessary.
As far as I was aware, that's not true. Regardless of filesystem (ramfs or
other), if XIP isn't enabled then an *extra* copy of the executable will get
loaded into RAM when it's run.
That is _exactly_ what I have right now. Even if we don't care about RAM
size issues, making this RAM->RAM copy takes about two seconds with each
little command line utility started, as (due no the not available shared
library feature of the tool chain) they are built inside of a huge
busybox executable.
XIPin busybox in initramfs really would help !
