Has boot-time RAMDISK support been added to SPARC? Currently for s390x at boot I remove the pages used by the ramdisk from the phys_avail memlist structure and create my own ramdisk memlist. I then intended to add these pages back to the general populace when release_bootstrap() is called. However, I think this complicates things. I now intend to leave them in the phys_avail memlist and then just remove the corresponding page_t entries from the linked list. When release_bootstrap() is called I then just add those entries back into the chain.
This is my plan anyway (currently the ramdisk pages are just left as unusable). However, I recall hearing that using a ramdisk at boot time was something SPARC was going to do so I wondered if there was going to be a common mechanism used by both x86 and SPARC that I should tap into.
