This to me looks like a very large patch for what is a small problem -
that is the assignment of initrd_start/initrd_size got lost along the
way.

I'd much rather have the smaller patch; keep the initrd parameters in
the physical address space for as long as possible, and only convert
them to the virtual address space once we've finished mm initialisation.
