Comment(by dsd):

 Thanks for the quick fix. I've confirmed that padding a zero to the
 initramfs in question (to meet a divisible-by-4 file size) avoids the
 problem.

 No need for an immediate release; we will want to maintain compatibility
 with old firmware releases for XO-1.75, so I am adding a workaround in the
 kernel builder (append zeros to the initramfs to meet a 4 byte boundary).

 I guess XO-1/XO-1.5 is unaffected, and for XO-4 we don't have to do the
 "maintain compatibility" dance yet, so this will be limited to just
 XO-1.75.
