    Loader: support booting OS from memory disk (MD)
    
    Until now, the boot image can be embedded into the loader with
    /sys/tools/embed_mfs.sh, and memory disk (MD) is already supported
    in loader source. But due to memory disk (MD) driver isn't registered
    to the loader yet, the boot image can't be boot from embedded memory
    disk.
