a file in initrd isn't a good choice; as the initrd is generally a fix
image
the point is some bootloaders might want to pass quite a bit of state
to the kernel at times (i actually have this for a mip32 target where
i construct a table and pass a pointer to that in, a tad icky but for
lack of options)
initrd is a fixed image, but initramfs can be synthesized.
