linux-initrd: Adjust VM code and doc to new 'base-initrd' signature. 

This fixes regressions introduced in de1c158 ("system: Add support for
boot-time mapped devices.").

* doc/guix.texi (Initial RAM Disk): Adjust example with custom use of
  'base-initrd'.  Document #:mapped-devices parameter of 'base-initrd'.
* gnu/system/vm.scm (system-disk-image, system-qemu-image,
  virtualized-operating-system): Adjust call to 'base-initrd' to new
  signature.

@ -3649,23 +3649,24 @@ at boot time, you can define the @code{initrd} field of the operating
system declaration like this:
@example
(initrd (cut base-initrd <>
#:extra-modules '("my.ko" "modules.ko")))
(initrd (lambda (file-systems . rest)
(apply base-initrd file-systems
#:extra-modules '("my.ko" "modules.ko")

@end example

Note that for the example above, the SRFI-26 module needs to be imported
(@pxref{SRFI-26,,, guile, GNU Guile Reference Manual}).
It also handles common use cases that involves using the system as a
QEMU guest, or as a ``live'' system whose root file system is volatile.
The @code{base-initrd} procedure also handles common use cases that

Return a monadic derivation that builds a generic 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 @code{--root}.
@var{mapped-devices} is a list of device mappings to realize before
@var{file-systems} are mounted (@pxref{Mapped Devices}).
When @var{qemu-networking?} is true, set up networking with the standard QEMU
parameters. When @var{virtio?} is true, load additional modules so the initrd can
