Example of subarch ephemeral image entries:

quantal-ephemeral-maas-armhf-initrd
quantal-ephemeral-maas-armhf-vmlinuz
quantal-ephemeral-maas-armhf.img
subarch/
subarch/armadaxp/
subarch/armadaxp/initrd.gz
subarch/armadaxp/linux
subarch/highbank/
subarch/highbank/initrd.gz
subarch/highbank/linux

I went with initrd.gz as this is what seems to be used internally within 
maas-import-ephemerals. However, note that the expectation of a file ending in 
".gz" is that gunzip will work on it, but in the case of armadaxp, there is an 
extra "uInitrd" wrapper (created by u-boot's mkimage) that breaks this 
expectation. Using "initrd" instead of "initrd.gz" universally would be better, 
but it is possibly not practical to make this change everywhere now.

The alternative would be to ship it as uInitrd and uImage inside 
subarch/armadaxp and have maas-import-ephemerals rename it as needed.
