To boot from initrd:

qemu-system-arm -M z2 -kernel \
arch/arm/boot/zImage -no-reboot -initrd \
rootfs-armv5.cpio --append \
"panic=-1 slub_debug=FZPUA rdinit=/sbin/init console=ttyS0" -nographic \
-monitor null -serial stdio

where rootfs-armv5.cpio is from my repository at github.com.

I can boot z2 from mmc and flash, but I have a number of configuration
flags enabled on top of pxa_defconfig. That also works with your latest patch
series. See
https://kerneltests.org/builders/qemu-arm-testing/builds/75/steps/qemubuildcommand/logs/stdio

# Always enable ...
enable_config "${defconfig}" CONFIG_DEVTMPFS CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD
# Options needed to be built into the kernel for device support
# on pxa devices

enable_config_cond "${defconfig}" CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK CONFIG_MTD_PXA2XX CONFIG_SQUASHFS
# MMC

Hope this helps,
