This option to the PACKAGE_CLASSES variable is broken and not
supported. I added several warnings saying such. We opted to
keep the documentation rather than eliminating it completely to
prevent questions should someone find the code and wonder why
it is not documented.

The way the old manual set had worded the use of the
BB_NUMBER_THREADS, PARALLEL_MAKE, and BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS
had become depricated. It suggested a lot of user intervention
to get these variables set to have the build system utilize
optimal parallelism. The change a while back to the build system
where the variables are set to the number of build host cores
now makes the variables automatically be set to their best
values. I have gone through the manual set and changed wordings
appropriately to reflect this.

The initrd image used by the Linux kernel is list of file
system images concatenated together and presented as a single
initrd file at boot time.
So far the initrd is a single filesystem image. But in cases
like to support early microcode loading, the initrd image need
to have multiple filesystem images concatenated together.
This commit is extending the INITRD variable from a single
filesystem image to a list of filesystem images to satisfy
the need mentioned above.
