A better solution is to load r0 and r1 with the proper values right at
the beginning. This is supposed to be done by the bootloader so we have
to improvise.

I had some luck with using the bootp support -- you have to grab the elf
image of course. It is nice because it relies on the standard initrd
support. IIRC it didn't work out of the box, but it was close.
Unfortunately I don't recall the delta needed.

Another alternative is Al Viro's new namespace/init support. This links
in the image of a cpio archive into the kernel. This is the future of
the initrd in Linux as of 2.5.x.

BTW, this was all with the NetBSD loader.
