How one is supposed to run this when just having a kernel is enough?
At least (ex)colleague of mine was a heavy user of this option for
testing kernel builds on the real HW.

This option applies to initrd only, not to initramfs.
Except for EFI mode, when it applies to both.

I will remove this option when I remove initrd.

In EFI mode it is easy just not to pass initramfs, so all is okay.

Also I will clarify docs in v3.
