It could be used that way, but you would have to wrap the file in a cpio 
archive.

The real way to put this together is under development.

Note, you can't concatenate initrd, only initramfs.  Actually, given an 
*uncompressed* initrd you could concatenate something after it, and 
access it by opening the initrd device (/dev/ram0) itself, but I doubt 
this is something you really want to do.
