For ages both vmlinux and zImage accepted the initramdisk location
in r3/r4 [1] [2]. If r3==r4==0, vmlinux looks at the device tree for
/chosen/linux,initrd-{start|end} but zImage does not so the QEMU user
can only pass vmlinux via -kernel if -initrd is passed as well.
This initializes r3/r4 to point to the initramdisk location when present.
