H. Peter Anvin cf8fa920cb i386: handle an initrd in highmem (version 2)
The boot protocol has until now required that the initrd be located in
lowmem, which makes the lowmem/highmem boundary visible to the boot
loader.  This was exported to the bootloader via a compile-time
field.  Unfortunately, the vmalloc= command-line option breaks this
part of the protocol; instead of adding yet another hack that affects
the bootloader, have the kernel relocate the initrd down below the
lowmem boundary inside the kernel itself.

Note that this does not rely on HIGHMEM being enabled in the kernel.
