Nothing is available before init is started, init is always the first thing to start, even on initrd or initramfs (some archs call init linuxrc though). If you are running from the initrd already then that is writeable nowadays I think. You have to retrieve the file after pivot_root though. If it runs after the pivot_root then /run or /dev/shm is a good place. You just have to mount them before or in bootchart.
