    When we extracted the generated cpio archive using "cpio -id" command,
    it complained,
    
    cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
    var/run
    cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
    var/lib
    cpio: Removing leading `/' from member names
    var/lib/misc
    
    It is worse with the latest "cpio" or "pax", which tries to overwrite
    the host file system with the leading '/'.
    
    So the leading '/' of file names should be removed. This is consistent
    with the initramfs come with major distributions such as Fedora or
    Debian, etc.
