For /run specifying the number of inodes is also a good idea. For a system

Sorry for the mis-des
The attached patch creates a new config option ONLY_BUSYBOX which can be set
if you want to use busybox instead of kinit. It saves over 200K of
compressed size on my system.
I believe that this should be included, it doesn't stop kinit being used,
merely provides another option.
