The comment for initrd_high in the coding and in README were contradicting

Clarify the usage of the special value ~0UL for the environment variable
initrd_high.
All those F:s are hard to read in the comments and documentation and
typo prone. I would prefer to rephrase like "all 1:s value in 32- or
64-bit format" or alike.
If we're going to improve this we should also note it's discouraged
unless you know for certain there will be no overlap and it's strongly
discouraged in default environments.
What exactly is discouraged?
* setting initrd_high to a value != ~0? Here I would agree.
* setting intird_high to ~0? Why should we copy initrd to a
different place? Is it for some outdated Linux release?
Best regards
