Currently the EFI stub attempts to load initrd(s) specified on the
command line below hdr->initrd_addr_max (2G) and if that fails, falls
back to allocating at an unrestricted address.
The only case when loading at a low address helps is for the 32-bit
kernel, where the initrd must be copied by the kernel into lowmem if
it's not there already. The limit specified in hdr->initrd_addr_max is
insufficient to ensure this in any case, since lowmem by default will
extend to about 0.9G rather than 2G, and we don't attempt to load the
initrd in lowmem at all for the new device-path based initrd.
Simplify the code by dropping this optimization for the command line
initrd(s) as well.
