Who is "we"? Did you use kexec and pass ext2.gz as a ramdisk?
u-boot supports this like for ever. You start the kernel via
bootm x y z
where y is the address of the ramdisk / initrd. passing the address the
ext2.gz files does not work.
As an alternative to this you can only pass x to bootm and the image has
the "uImage.FIT" format which can contain the kernel, device tree and a
ramdisk in one piece.
