I don't think this change is correct.  From just above in efi-stub.txt:

 For example, given the following directory layout,

fs0:>
        Kernels\
                        bzImage.efi
                        initrd-large.img

        Ramdisks\
                        initrd-small.img
                        initrd-medium.img


The file initrd-large.img is in the Kernels directory, and the point
of this section
is to highlight that the path given to "initrd=" must be absolute.
