ARC semantics was using them as PA anyways.Yes, the generic initrd code expects initrd_start/end to be virtual addresses, which we now directly derive from phys_initrd_start, that should really be equivalent.
So we can skip this explicit setting above - ARC arch code doesn't access the virt initrd_start
