Please, let's not make the age old mistake of inventing new symbols
for stuff that already exists:

$ grep phys_initrd_start arch/ -rl
arch/arm/mm/init.c
arch/nds32/mm/init.c
arch/unicore32/mm/init.c
$ grep initrd_start_phys arch/ -rl
$

Please use the "phys_initrd_start" and "phys_initrd_end" naming,
which already exist on some architectures rather than inventing a new
set of symbols for the same thing and then forcing arches to change.
We could then get rid of:

        /* FDT scan will populate initrd_start */
        if (initrd_start && !phys_initrd_size) {
                phys_initrd_start = __virt_to_phys(initrd_start);
                phys_initrd_size = initrd_end - initrd_start;
        }

        initrd_start = initrd_end = 0;

in ARM, which exists purely to cope with DT.
