That's the RAM address, where the offset 0x800000 is a hack to map the
different address spaces of the AVR into a single flat address space
for GCC.

No mapping needed.  Internally, everything is handled in terms of RAM
addresses.  In ROM, the initialization code knows that it has to
expect the RAM init data straight after the normal program code.  (It
knows that by some external symbol filled in by the linker.)  So as
long as your avr-objcopy command that extracts the ROM image from the
ELF file concatenates both .text and .data, it will work.
