That would be my preferred method. Merge Erics and my fixup for 2.6.24-rc. The only open questions is, what was the reiserfs problem?

Sharing common code is always good. While the merge window is still open, to me the new ramdisk code seems more like a 2.6.25-rc thing. We actually should test the behaviour in low memory scenarios. What do you think?
