Subject[PATCH] initrd: Remove erroneous comment
Date
Most architectures have been passing the location of an initrd via the
initrd= option since their inception. Remove the comment as it's both
wrong and unrelated to the commit that introduced it.

Fixes: 694cfd87b0c8 ("x86/setup: Add an initrdmem= option to specify initrd physical address")

For a bit more context, I assume there's been some confusion between
"initrd" being a keyword in things like extlinux.conf and also that for
quite a long time now initrd information is passed via device tree and
not the command line on relevant architectures. But it's still true
that it's been a valid command line option to the kernel since the 90s.
It's just the case that in 2018 the code was consolidated from under
arch/ and in to this file.
