Well, I added a few more patches and it finally boots now, but it
can't mount the root FS off the RAMDISK. I'm not sure if this is a

good
to be getting further...
I was unable to boot userspace from initrd too. It was loaded to the
wrong address or something. "Fixing" that didn't work either.
It gets loaded to 0x80800000, feeding rd_start/rd_size derived from
that address as kernel parameters should work.
That does the trick! Thank you so much!
That made my day. Now for a few little fixups and my experiment is a
success.
