Subject: kexec: arm: possible overwrite of initrd

Hello

Following https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/4/6/96 I was able to boot my Cubieboard4 via kexec reliabily.

But now I have started to use kernelCI builds, I got problems.
All sunxi_defconfig kernel works but not multi_v7_defconfig which got:
[    1.896540] Trying to unpack rootfs image as initramfs...
[    1.896947] rootfs image is not initramfs (invalid magic at start of compressed archive); looks like an initrd
Then:
[    3.927732] RAMDISK: Couldn't find valid RAM disk image starting at 0.
[    3.934489] VFS: Cannot open root device \"(null)\" or unknown-block(0,0): error -6

I have tryed to disable all related RD/RAMFS/compression CONFIGs without change.
Only the size of the kernel seems to matter which let me think that the initrd is overwritten by the kernel.

I use kexec-tools master
This is the output of my kexec run
run kexec with --debug --kexec-syscall --force --initrd /tmp/ramdisk --dtb /tmp/dtb --command-line='console=ttyS0,115200n8 root=/dev/ram0 earlycon=uart,mmio32,0x7000000 ip=dhcp'
Try gzip decompression.
