Isn't this just broken? The documented ABI for the bootloader
to kernel interface tells the kernel where to find the initrd
(either via the ATAGS list or inside the device tree blob),
and if you're using a device tree blob then we pass its location
in a register. For device tree in particular it is extremely
clear: "Device tree can be located anywhere in system RAM".

I don't want to add hacky workarounds for broken guests; if
you must run broken guests you can run the whole boot rom
or equivalent that the hardware does...
