Can physical flash initramfs cpio address be given to bootm?

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.

Regards,

Brian
