Note, that does not readily work - this is where we load the
compressed kernel image and initrd, but what matters is the size it
gets uncompressed to.

I don't remember any more than that so I'm sorry if it's total
garbage, which it might be.  I did write a patch to stick the initrd
right after the loaded kernel; it didn't work and I convinced myself
that was the reason.
