Any kernel config update related to initramfs?
Not that I'm aware of, no.

Alex already pointed to tmpfs vs. ramfs as the most likely cause here;
It's not the cause, it's a workaround. We used to use tmpfs before as
well, but then our initrd grew so much that it didn't fit anymore and so
now the only way to get it extracted is to use ramfs.
My point was that if changing to ramfs works then the addresses are OK.

The real cause is that the kiwi initrd grew too big.
The initrd does not magically grow, so there must be some deeper cause.
The 4.4 kernel submission is already some weeks back, so either updated
Tumbleweed packages pull in new dependencies or there was a Kiwi update
(we had a fork with patches some weeks ago, now it's inherited again) or
our JeOS definitions changed - or maybe nobody tested BBB images for
some time.

I did not tested it for a while.
Comparing an image from June 2015 to this one (February 2016), bigger 
differences are the following:
* /lib : 47 MB > 74 MB
    - lib/firmware : 552 K > 22 M
    - lib/modules : 39 M > 44 M
* /usr : 65 MB > 105 MB
    - usr/lib : 37 M > 59 M
    - usr/share : 17 M > 45 M (grub2 and icu folders appeared)

So, the main problem seems to be that kernel-firmware, grub2 and icu packages 
are there with lots of deps.

Marcus, any thing in kiwi explaining that?

512 MB Raspberry Pi 1 B/B+ is armv6hl and thus has less kernel modules,
while BBB is probably one of the lowest RAM armv7hl JeOS images built so
noticing memory problems first.

Matwey previously brought up the question of whether Kiwi's initrd
stripping hooks are actually called - he reported it didn't work in
