Return a derivation that builds a raw initrd. @var{file-systems} is
a list of file systems to be mounted by the initrd, possibly in addition to
the root file system specified on the kernel command line via @option{root}.
@var{linux-modules} is a list of kernel modules to be loaded at boot time.
@var{mapped-devices} is a list of device mappings to realize before
@var{file-systems} are mounted (@pxref{Mapped Devices}).
+@var{pre-mount} is a G-expression to evaluate before realizing
+@var{mapped-devices}.
@var{helper-packages} is a list of packages to be copied in the initrd.
It may
include @code{e2fsck/static} or other packages needed by the initrd to check
