rewrite rd

This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.

The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache.  It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg.  try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption.  And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.

The new one is more like a regular block device driver.  It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff.  It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).

There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.

The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2837     849     384    4070     fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
   3528     371      12    3911     f47 drivers/block/brd.o

Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.

A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
  ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
  to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

- * ramdisk.c - Multiple RAM disk driver - gzip-loading version - v. 0.8 beta.
- *
- * (C) Chad Page, Theodore Ts'o, et. al, 1995.
- *
- * This RAM disk is designed to have filesystems created on it and mounted
- * just like a regular floppy disk.
- *
- * It also does something suggested by Linus: use the buffer cache as the
- * RAM disk data.  This makes it possible to dynamically allocate the RAM disk
- * buffer - with some consequences I have to deal with as I write this.
- *
- * This code is based on the original ramdisk.c, written mostly by
- * Theodore Ts'o (TYT) in 1991.  The code was largely rewritten by
- * Chad Page to use the buffer cache to store the RAM disk data in
- * 1995; Theodore then took over the driver again, and cleaned it up
- * for inclusion in the mainline kernel.
- *
- * The original CRAMDISK code was written by Richard Lyons, and
- * adapted by Chad Page to use the new RAM disk interface.  Theodore
- * Ts'o rewrote it so that both the compressed RAM disk loader and the
- * kernel decompressor uses the same inflate.c codebase.  The RAM disk
- * loader now also loads into a dynamic (buffer cache based) RAM disk,
- * not the old static RAM disk.  Support for the old static RAM disk has
- * been completely removed.
- *
- * Loadable module support added by Tom Dyas.
- *
- * Further cleanups by Chad Page (page0588@sundance.sjsu.edu):
- *	Cosmetic changes in #ifdef MODULE, code movement, etc.
- * 	When the RAM disk module is removed, free the protected buffers
- * 	Default RAM disk size changed to 2.88 MB
- *
- *  Added initrd: Werner Almesberger & Hans Lermen, Feb '96
- *
- * 4/25/96 : Made RAM disk size a parameter (default is now 4 MB)
- *		- Chad Page
- *
- * Add support for fs images split across >1 disk, Paul Gortmaker, Mar '98
