mkinitrd ignores the boot directory passed via -b boot_dir. It always uses
/boot instead.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a directory (eg. /home/abcd/boot).
2. Copy the content of /boot into this directory (eg. cp -r /boot
/home/abcd/boot).
3. Invoke mkinitrd with the "-b" parameter (eg. mkinitrd -b /home/abcd/boot)
Actual Results:  
The appropriate initrd file is created inside /boot, not in the specified
directory (eg. /home/abcd/boot). The same applies for the kernel image which is
used from /boot.
Expected Results:  
The image is created inside the specified directory (eg. /home/abcd/boot).
