Hi Tony,

could you cc linux fs devel and maybe linux embedded mailing list?
Currently I try to insert in mainline the pramfs. Maybe we have the
same goal and we could "merge" our effort. What do you think? Sure the
kernel from this point of view has got a lack of support, I see
different approach and solution to this. I saw in the staging tree a
pmem driver of google guys that it seems to be designed for the same
goal.
