In my research it appears other ports allow this but patches have been
submitted to ARM kernel to keep from having to do a useless copy from
flash to RAM only to have the Kernel relocate the ramdisk yet again
... but the patches have not been accepted.

I can do it, it just appears like a wasted step that wastes time
booting a embedded system.

I'm currently investigating some of the patches that have been
submitted regarding this issue.
