Is there a standardized way of doing this yet? I'm not using any MTD
stuff, yet, and it doesn't look like something that the code currently
does.

The standard way of doing it on ARM linux systems is that the boot
loader copies the contents of the (compressed) ramdisk from flash to a
place in ram where the kernel expects it to be. Another possibility is
to point the kernel to the flash memory and have it decompressed from
there.
