Ooh, now I see it - you have virtual and physical initramfs address things. We
usually call those "va" and "pa". So
initramfs_{va,pa}_{start,end}
Okay, I will call external_initramfs_{va,pa}_{start,end}
(after I will remove initrd, which will happen after a year)
"external" means "bootloader-supplied" as opposed to builtin initramfs.
