This may not be what you want, but in fact there is a maintained initrd implementation for MeeGo on pinetrail. It's used for the isolinux install images. I actually use it, unmodified, routinely when booting from USB (which I often do on devices with an internal drive with an identical image already installed, thus confusing myself and the kernel about which root I'm looking at). It works fine, and interprets a root=UUID=... argument exactly as you would expect. For the common case, it requires no kernel modules and thus works unmodified with recompiled kernels. It's presumably the output of mkinitrd, though honestly I've never had the need to rebuild one so I can't speak to process. Obviously this usage is a development tool, not a production solution. But if you can't find a better workaround it might be adaptable.
