IIUC, the check on initrdx > 0 was pointless as bit 0 will always be 
cleared (it is used for dom0 kernel). It might be worth mentionning it 
in the commit message. Something like:
"The initrd can never be in the first module (i.e initrdidx == 0) as 
this is always used by the dom0 kernel. So the check can be simplify."
