For keystone devices we load filesystem at ${rdaddr}, but need to pass
to the kernel initrd=<${rdaddr} + 0x780000000)>, which is LPAE address.

How can I do that w/o using absolute address?

You are right. That is to load a standalone file system to the ram and
let kernel to know the start address.

Thanks
